What does this mean to you? - In a week, opensuse:tumbleweed and opensuse:42.2 (EOL) will be removed - You'll have to use opensuse/tumbleweed instead of opensuse:tumbleweed
Unless there is a very good reason it would seem far better to provide a transition period of a few months at least. I can imagine people with various Dockerfiles and chains on dockerhub and similar that would rather everything not break all of the sudden without a good reason.
Even if :tumbleweed is not updated that is still better as it went months without update previously. Anyone using it properly should be running `zypper dup` right away and will see no adverse effects.
I understand your point - but IMO it fits opensuse:42.2 more than :tumbleweed. I think a transition period of a week is enough. The change is trivial enough to be applied everywhere within a week, the bigger issue is to get the message out. My expectation is that the majority of users won't have received the mail, so they'll only notice the change after the image got removed. For opensuse:{amd64,arm64v8,...} a transition period of a week is almost too much, those images aren't supposed to be used at all. Their only purpose was once to act as a fallback if pushing to the official library did not work. It might be good idea to wait until Doug is back and can write an article on news.opensuse.org though and start the week for :tumbleweed and :42.2 deletion then. What do you think about that?
