Leap did become "the better SLE" overtime, so we should have seen this coming a mile away, but I do not know how to feel about SLE basically using all of that work that the community did to achieve this.
I feel good about it.
The way I see openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise engage is an ongoing cooperation (both ways), a dance, sometimes closer, sometimes a bit more independently. Think rumba or salsa more than waltz. :-)
In fact, it doesn't just go "both ways", but really "many connected and intertwined ways" - supporting, challenging, pulling together.
And it's not two distinct groups of, say, developers, "the community" vs "the SUSE people". It's much more nuanced and intertwined than that (which, to be clear, you never indicated otherwise).
And nurturing, supporting, and growing these numerous pathways and clusters, that's a key part of our work
As an aside, Jump is an awful name, since it's a way too common of a word in the English language to build any reasonable branding around it.
Isn't Jump more like $JUMP, its actual name to be determined?

$0.02:
if the 'coming closer' ends up with less flexibility than currently available in/with use of opensuse, then it will simply be LESS likely that there will be more migration (aka $revenue) -- immediate or eventual -- to commercially supported SLE.
One thing to consider is that we are already `very close` Leap and SLE already share much of the same source and much effort has gone into this proposal and the changes that do need to be made to ensure that we are not any less flexible then we already are.
