Not really if you look close to the picture!
Note that the Factory line goes to Backports only on the Leap side, and to the base system on the SLE side. Do not over-interpret it.
The factory line goes to Leap first, then via backports to package hub.
The Closing the Leap Gap message was clear more than one year ago.
I know, I discussed it from the early beginning.....and the message was not 'Leap, slow down to SLE pace' (in terms of applications, not base packages)
(Didnt read the text, but will do later)
Add this one too then:
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Leap/FAQ/ ClosingTheLeapGap#Q._Would_I_be_able_to_add_my_own_packages_to_the_new_release. 3F -> Yes, the release would allow users/developers to add their own packages. https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Leap/FAQ/ ClosingTheLeapGap#Q._How_do_I_update_or_add_a_new_package_to_a_new_openSUSE_Leap. 3F -> In the end, the answer is pretty simply: You create a submit request against the next openSUSE Leap version. Thats what I did for 'my' applications, they are pretty much up to date in 15.3. But obviously we missed many package (KDE/qt just to mention one. AFAIK KDE was never part of SLE, only via backports). As said before, this 'miss' may be due to the difficulties in merging the SLE basis into Leap from the binary side. Leap users are mostly more 'conservative' (or these are installations where one does not want/need to look after frequently), but getting every year some version update is not too bad. The change from 15.2 to 15.3 would have been the right time. Otherwise we may lose a lot of frustrated users. So, lets think about how we can get updates in. Cheers Axel
