I don't even know what this means (and I don't wanna know, I just wanna keep using the latest version of the software in the most stable version possible).
Well, that's the point about Leap, you will not.
The core of the distro is at the same versions as the related SLE version, and thus /may/ not be updated in 3 or 5 years.
If you want it simpler: some packages in Leap 42.3 /may/ be the same version as in Leap 42.1.
OK, I reread the lifetime information of openSuSE. https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime
You're right, I don't always get the absolutely newest version of a software, but therefor I get versions which are longer tested and therefor supposedly more stable than tumbleweed. Fine for me.
Still I don't need the word "leap" in the version numbering ;)
