Yin and yang are more about opposites (dualism) than anything judgmental (good and evil), or that is my understanding.

That's also the image I had in mind: two elements intertwined, engaging with one another, complementing each other.

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.

When I talked to a journalist a week ago, without ever talking about yin and yang, though admittedly using my hands to help articulate the dynamics, she asked me about yin and yang. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/open-source/opensuse-leap-ready-be-new-c... has the article that came out of that. It also has a graphics that a colleague with much better design skills than me created based on a paper and pencil sketch of mine. And that, too, has a bit of that.

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.

If you aren't part of that yet, please consider joining the openSUSE marketing team! (Seriously.) On Wed 2021-02-24, ddemaio wrote:

Perhaps the title was not the best, but it was more about getting attention.

It worked. And it resonates. The only pitful would be labeling one explicitly as yin, the other as yang (or anything good-bad or black- white, which of course the classic symbol is). Gerald
