Not necessarily. There are people who want their system as a whole stable (Leap style stable) but they need or want recent versions of specific subset of packages.
For example, I'm running Leap 15.0 with recent git packages on my laptop because I'm using some recent features for my workflow (e.g. git range- diff). And I'm certainly not going to risk full Tumbleweed with all the breakages and subtle work environment changes. If the bleeding edge git package is broken, that's something I can live with; in the worst case, I can always revert to "known good" version (locally stored). But for the rest of the system, I want to minimize the risk of nasty surprises.

My sentiments exactly. The fact that I *can* frig around with everything and know how to do this shit does not mean that after work I have the time and energy left to actually do it. My personal work/play machine just has to work. Reliably. Which means that I prefer the linux version of any given game over the windows version, because of what mickeysoft did to the last couple of windows 10 updates... XD but that's a bit OT.
