My understanding is that we're going to have 15.5, so that makes it 7.5 years, no? There will be 15.5. What we don't know is if there will be 15.6 and if so, will it be in parallel with something "else".
I think the commitment to have Leap 15.5 is certain.
Well, that makes it even stronger of a message than I had initially wondered about. :-) Who can adjust the Lifecycle wiki accordingly? Thanks, Gerald

We could, but while we know there will be a 15.5 what i'm not sure we know is whether there will be a 16.5 and given that this page should be our long term commitment I don't think we should be saying 7.5 years now then get half way through the Leap 16 cycle and decide to drop it back to 4.5 years. Unfortunately as a project we don't get to make decisions on these things until we have a fair idea of what SUSE maybe doing.

Well, what in life is 100% sure? Whenever you book a flight/train/theatre ticket/doctor's appointment, it's not a given that it really works out at that very time. Even when you marry, which usually is "for life", you also don't know how the next year, of the seventh ;-), are going to work out. I'm not saying we should make false claims, but with 15.x *having* such a life cycle, and us not having any indications the future will offer less, why not promote that? Gerald
