any outsider will associate "Leap" with something dynamic and innovative, i.e. the polar opposite of what openSUSE 42 stands for. (in this context "outsiders" includes even current casual users of openSUSE).
Leap does not exlusively imply "the latest and greatest".
Given all the flimsy and shaky software out there, ever more Linux-flavors, disruptive desktop-designs causing disrupted workflows etc. etc. an openSUSE-release fortified by "tried and reliable components" (as an alternative for "old software" - as you put it) would definitely constitute a "Leap".
At least for those who are looking for a stable, reliable, no-hassle OS that simply does its job and doesn't give them headaches on a daily basis. And if I'm not mistaken that's a target group of significant size. Just look at Windows XP - MS virtually had to force users to give it up.
In addition, the prospect of a smooth transition might also encourage not-so-daring new users to take the "leap" to Linux.
Nevertheless: if you have a better solution - most welcome!
I already made my suggestion. "openSUSE Home Server", or maybe that should be "openSUSE SOHO Server" (as in small office/home office) to not discourage small businesses from jumping aboard. There's nothing poetic or abstract about the name. It's just to the point and clear to everyone, no lengthy explanation needed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
