Those users tend to have an extremely consumeristic approach and won't ever contribute a damn thing.
may be we don't work enough in that direction :-)
Like I said, Debian, Evergreen etc. already tried that.
Tumbleweed will never be an option, no matter how good it becomes, it will still be rolling. Hence I will not use it and I can barely recommend it to anyone.
why not? It seems for me, but I'm pretty exterior of it that tumbleweed is more tested than some very appreciated openSUSE regular release of the past...
Even if we assumed for the sake of argument that Tumbleweed never had any bugs, it is still more annoying adapting to intentionally changed behaviour in Tumbleweed on a daily basis when you're trying to get things done, than it is to find a workaround for an unintended bug in stable openSUSE once every 9-12 months.
I think there is no point in continuing this discussion: rolling releases aren't for everyone and for every use case - even a perfectly rolling release won't. The question is more: what users/contributors we take out of the regular openSUSE release user pool by making TW a perfect rolling release? And my answer: enough to warrant rethinking our regular release's scope. Of course from a happy user's perspective there is little reason for openSUSE to change. But those that actually have to deliver your suggestion of "just maintain it for 26 months" actually do see a reason.
