Well, that's the point about Leap, you will not.
The core of the distro is at the same versions as the related SLE version, and thus /may/ not be updated in 3 or 5 years.
If you want it simpler: some packages in Leap 42.3 /may/ be the same version as in Leap 42.1.
OK, I reread the lifetime information of openSuSE. https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime
You're right, I don't always get the absolutely newest version of a software, but therefor I get versions which are longer tested and therefor supposedly more stable than tumbleweed. Fine for me.
Still I don't need the word "leap" in the version numbering ;)
As a openSUSE Developer keeping Leap in the name is nice, because often we refer to Leap or Tumbleweed, where as without the Leap name we would be referring to tumbleweed or stable or something like that, particularly when referring to something thats across multiple leap versions. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
