On behalf of the openSUSE Board and Leap Release Management I am pleased to announce the next version of openSUSE Leap after 42.3 will be:
openSUSE Leap 15
:-(
I get why 15, so won't try to argue against it even though I don't like it.
So we had 12.x ... 13.x and in reality 42 was 14. Now we're back on sequence with 15.x. Yes, I get it. What's after that? "Fish 77"?
What I don't get is why to keep the Leap part.
Oh, that was easy, it was a leap from 13, over a whole pile of other numbers, couple of decades worth. "Bound" had other connotations, but has the same basic meaning. "Spring Jump" might seem, well, seasonal. So we leaper from 13 all the way to 42 in a single bound. Now we're regressing, again in a single bound. Make perfect sense, doesn't it?
If I had my druthers, next would be Opensuse 1501, 1502, 1503, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1701, etc.; or 151, 152, 153, 161, 162, 163, 171, etc.
Yes, we should definitely stick with numbers. Not animals, not cypto-dates, not alliterations. A nice, regular monotonic sequence.
