I think this should be done now for Tumbleweed, and the fast release cycle be followed going forward in Tumbleweed. This is entirely within the Tumbleweed development model and positioning. I also think we do not need to ship an ESR version in parallel on TW.
As a TW user I'd rather have a working ESR than a not-quite-working 55+ if they can not be made to co-exist. I use a bunch of extensions that probably aren't quite ready yet to make that jump.
As a TW user I'm already dying to upgrade to 55, having already ensured that my extensions are compatible. This is Tumbleweed, not Leap; I respectfully suggest that if you want to keep an older version of a package, you prevent its upgrades yourself via Yast. (This probably sounds snarkier than is intended; I just want the release team to know there are those of us patiently waiting for a package whose official stable release is already a month old) Kind regards, Huw
