Hi guys!
I have been following this discussion of new Leap numbering since I saw the news on Phoronix. As someone told here, I think it is already decided so there is no point to discuss whether it was or not a good decision (IMO, it was a bad one).
However, I want to highlight a problem that I think is the most important one. Consider the following scenario:
Someone wants to install Leap. Then he/she searches on Internet (Google) and saw Leap 15 and Leap 42.3. Without further information, this person will always grab the 42.3 ISO, thinking it is the latest one. What is the plan to avoid a huge number of new users installing a (possibly very old) OS on their computers?
They will need a direct link. If they simply go to the download page, the first offering will be 15.0 Then they'll probably be confused. The download page will need some prominent info. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
