No need to deliberate too much, imho. Just write the truth, and add the caveat.
As we're not addressing 'regular' customers (there, it would make sense first saying it might be supported for 7 years, f.ex.), write that it's supported for at least xy, and, depending on SUSE's plans might be extended to 7 or whatever it is.
Have a lot of fun

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?
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, just write that. That there will be a a 15.5, but we don't know if
there will be a 16.5 because we don't make that decision, but that we
expect there will be at least a .3 and sometimes up to .6
Write the truth.
Just find the best wording.
