So even without the 42.x -> 15.x leap (pun intended), it seems version numbers are already confusing ;-) I know switching to 15.x adds slightly more confusion now, but on the long term it's much better to have SLE, Leap and suse_version in sync than always having to do the "+ 30" math for the Leap version.
As I already mentioned, we could just go for 150, 151, 152, 160...
This would still be tied to SLES in an obvious way, and not backwards from 42.x
Best of both worlds.
At a minimum that should be done in /etc/issue.
And maybe %leap_version 1500000, 1510000, 1520000, 1600000, ... in rpm macros.
I still don't get why do we need to be tied to SLES version numbers at all. What is the technical reason behind this? It is pure unimportant cosmetics.
Instead the board is trying to teach us that there is no technical reason to increment version numbers... That's crazy.
