Why don't we use SLE as is?
Actually, we do - most of it. The problem is SLE provides much fewer packages than openSUSE so that taking SLE as is wouldn't satisfy too many openSUSE users. The number of packages that exist in both but openSUSE has newer version is relatively small (higher than I would like, though).
We need written rules. IMO It should be really really really difficult for a package maintainer to update his package in Leap.
IMHO one of the big problems of today's distribution is that many people stopped distinguishing between updates and upgrades; popularity of so-called "rolling updates" distributions - which are in fact also "rolling upgrades" (which fans of the concept keep forgetting to mention) - is one of the reasons, IMHO.
Note the SLE also upgrades packages. The ~1000 package updates in SP2 weren't minor at all.
Do they also remove packages? Like it's currently discussed about ruby 2.1 and 2.3 or kde4?
