This is hardly a usable justficiation.
I don't want any variants, I want _the original_.
Me too, but it will not be.
Well that will depend on the definition of what _the original_ means. This may be better debated in yet another thread. However, lets just get into this here. If we declare the release that SUSE paid employees release and maintain (security) as _the original_ and therefore declare this group of people as "special", i.e. they hold the monopoly on releasing things that are branded "openSUSE VERSION_NUMBER", as in _the original_ then indeed a renaming would be out of place, and the new SLES source based release that is being worked on as :42 would be _the original_, aka "regular release". This naming "openSUSE VERSION_NUMBER" is being advocated by some in the community, and there are certainly reasonable arguments for proceeding in that direction. However, if we come to the conclusion that no group of people should have "special" status (a question raised in one comment in some other thread), then the proposal of abandoning the "openSUSE VERSION_NUMBER" name and having any and all distributions follow "openSUSE SOME_NAME SOME_VERSION" is one potential option to communicate the equality of releases, equality as in "equally representative of all contributors".
