Yin and yang are more about opposites (dualism) than anything judgmental
(good and evil), or that is my understanding. Interesting note: the
Wikipedia page doesn't have the word "evil" anywhere on it, though there is
a brief mention of "good and bad" basically stating that's not what yin and
yang are.
Anyway, I think there could be some value in this (yin/yang) comparison,
but there may also be some drawbacks to consider while moving forward. One
drawback is that a "random american" (or even other people, assuming there
is anywhere outside America), might have the same understanding, and
labeling either distribution evil/bad would at least be not-good for its
reputation. Even if that is avoided, are SLE and Leap opposites? One
feeds into the other, and in the same way I believe Tumbleweed feeds into
Leap, so I have typically appreciated (as somebody who has been around SUSE
for a while, so not a newbie in that regard) more of a continuum of
Tumbleweed -> Leap -> SLE, which can celebrate the fun/excitement/newness
of Tumbleweed, the practicality of Leap, and the stability of SLE without
passing much other judgment.
Just some thoughts,

My understanding of yin and yang as a random American: one means good and the other evil. Since they're being applied to SLE and openSUSE, aren't we effectively labeling one of the two evil? For numerous reasons, I would like to avoid risking such an interpretation of openSUSE's marketing content.
Otherwise, I like the concept. ------------------------------ *From:* ddemaio

A good symbol to go along with the release of openSUSE Leap 15.3 I believe is the yin and yang. I propose that artwork to market this release show the symbiotic relationship of Leap and SLE with a yin yang design. The imagery should help with the marketing.
