It's not so minority.
I was referring more to the 'under-appreciated' ...
Many devel projects containing the packages for Leap enabled the build quite some time ago.
On the day of release, when i started to track the superset of Opensuse v* non-home/devel repos used across our linux developers, there were 47 that were not enabled, reporting 404s.
After the nagging "phase", I'm down to just 6 that are reporting 404s.
Once that #'s == 0, then we'll start testing the release in our real-world environments.
There were some announcements on ML, too, IIRC. It wasn't too trivial, no single click action, unless you know of osc tool, though.
Most of the to-be-enabled repos did the trick immediately after enabling; couple of minor exceptions required some back & forth, but were fixed by responsive developers.
Exactly the process I'd prefer we were doing before the release. But as I mentioned in last post, not pushing that rock uphill. Why couldn't you do it before the release? The Devel Repos I maintain had leap enabled before the beta, there is no reason why you couldn't have downloaded the RC1 and started checking everything and asking developers to enable it then if you really wanted it done before the release. This may have even had the benefit of prodding a few devs to get there builds started earlier
So, basically your request was already possible by a manual action all the time. But the missing piece is the communication, it could have been better advertised.
IIUC, it *was* communicated. Maybe it could have been *better* communicated. Follow-through & follow-up are what's lacking in many cases.
That it was possible manually has never been in question. Another Issue that hasn't been mentioned here yet is that enabling all

Then there are the home repos that don't even have a openSUSE target currently should they be enabled as well?
