Who will work on SLE based openSUSE? I doubt Tumbleweed packagers will move 3-4 years back in time trying to build stuff. At least some Tumbleweed packagers care about the Tumbleweed based releases, of course mostly around release time when they're still 98% identical to Tumbleweed.
I think you are missing a big part of the picture: SLE Point releases: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux_distributions#Suse_distributi ons
So SLE 11 and 12 point releases came out
11.0 2009-03-24 11.1 2010-06-02 11.2 2012-02-29 11.3 2013-07-01 12.0 2014-10-10
As I understand it SLE Core would be updated with each point release. And those point releases are rather all inclusive so you often get a new kernel and software stack.
So SLE core would not be 3-4 years behind Tumbleweed as I understand it.
Really? I don't know too much about the SLE service packs, but it's my impression that they're not that exciting and don't upgrade too much stuff. Particularly not from a desktop user point of view.
With the introduction of modules [1] in SLES 12 that have their own life cycle and version change rules service packs in SLE 12 will be more "exciting" than service pack releases in the past. For stuff that is considered "core" we will end up with version numbers that are way behind Tumbleweed. However that does not necessarily mean that the features are also way behind, this will very much depend on the package (see another reply to this thread for more details).
