Yes, please always remember, one of the requirements for Tumbleweed is that the package already be in Factory.
The whole point is that a lot of people use packages that aren't in factory. packman is a perfect example. So are the games repository, education repository, science repository, various unstable repositories, and many others. There are valid use-cases for using all of these repos. But there is a very good chance that the packages built against, for instance, 11.4 will not work with tumbleweed, and at the very least you can't count on them working. You are basically forcing people who use tumbleweed to use the core packages and nothing else.
No, not at all, you can set tumbleweed to be your repo you build against today. I just did it and tested that it worked properly, so I don't see the problem here, do you?

As I explained already, this is a lot more complicated and requires you to modify the build targets every time a new version of openSUSE is released.
It will require _me_ to change the Tumbleweed build target, but that's the only one it will bother, right? I have to do that anyway, so I don't see the issue here at all.

You said that tumbleweed is an add-on repo for the normal version of openSUSE. This means anyone wanting to build against it would need to manually set up a repository with multiple build targets, such as 11.4+tumbleweed. This is considerably more complicated than setting up an individual build target. Further, every time there is a new openSUSE version, every project that builds against tumbleweed would need to remove the normal openSUSE build target (11.4 for example) and replace it with a new build target (11.5). This would require either deleting their build target entirely and re-making it, or going into the configuration and removing the existing target and adding a new one.
