With Granite not coming until 2025 and there being no plan for a Leap 15.7, there would be a high risk of having no option for Leap users for a year or two while your idea takes form, gets developed and then released
And why is there no plan for LEap 15.7?
Because of several reasons - the general agreement of Leaps use of SLE sources was with the condition that openSUSE would always transition to the next Enterprise codebase when it exists. Now ALP is here, it exists. The fact that it exists in a different scope than previous Enterprise codebases is a fact that openSUSE needs to rise to address - this is proving hard already - making a 15.7 will just make that harder. - the folk that SUSE contributes to make Leap are also the same folk you’ll need to make and support a 15.7. We could really use their help to build a Leap replacement. So if I were to push for a 15.7, that would mean we’d have to find even more new folk to lead, release manage, build and maintain a Leap replacement. I’d rather see the Leap pros working on a platform that has a future in the Project rather than losing them for a year or two maintaining a platform with no future. -- Richard Brown Distributions Architect SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, D-90461 Nuremberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Directors/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich
