This would be a great opportunity to consolidate folks on Tumbleweed. If you don’t like the frequency of updates, then simply don’t update as often.

This only works if one doesn't want to install additional packages. More often than not, additional packages will have dependencies that can no longer be satisfied if you're several updates behind.

Then that would be the time to update. When you are ready to install new packages, update. That’s hardly unreasonable even for slow folks. Anyway, this ship has already sailed. No going back now. Slowroll is here to stay, but it clearly needs a better name.

Another option us to use tumbleweed-cli which allows you to lock yourself to one of the last 20 builds.   

Generally that would allow you 1 month ( or a little less ) where you could install additional packages because you are pointed to a specific release.

I have been using it for several years now and it works great.

I generally update in the 2 - 4 week range depending on the results at openqa as well as where it fits into whatever projects I am working on.
