openSUSE Leap 15.3 Quarterly Update 1 was published
Hello openSUSE! The openSUSE Release team has over time received quite some requests to provide regular refreshes of install media. Some of these 15.X requests date back to the 15.2 development cycle. The most recent request* is from openSUSE Board on behalf of DocB. The idea is to incorporate released updates into "refreshed" install images. Having Quarterly Update (QU) setup* done early and doing this regularly will ensure that we will react timely to various issues affecting bootable media. **Identification** Images will have 15.3-N in the filename to distinguish from the original GA images. N is the incremental number currently set to 2. **QU Schedule and Availability** Leap 15.3 Quarterly Update 1 File (*15.3-2*) are already available at download-o-o and is ready to be mirrored. See our roadmap* for more information about the schedule. get.opensuse.org uses -Current symlinks which already point a the 15.3- 2 content. The idea is that the user would always download the latest openSUSE Leap 15.X image available to the date. I'd like to also inform the community that a request to provide a self- update repository for the installer in 15.4 was declined on a regular feature review meeting, as we believe that the QU approach provides a sufficient way to regularly update the installer in openSUSE Leap.

All, they were migrated more than a year ago.
These were the original lists that I was targetting
To: opensuse-announce@opensuse.org
Correct address is security-announce@lists.opensuse.org
CC: opensuse-project@opensuse.org <opensuse-project@opensuse.org>,
Correct address is project@lists.opensuse.org
mirror@opensuse.org <mirror@opensuse.org>
Correct address is mirror@lists.opensuse.org You can see the current list of mail lists here: <https://lists.opensuse.org/manage/lists/?count=200> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))

That's a different mailinglist. opensuse-announce is announce@lists.opensuse.org nowadays. That said - AFAIK the old opensuse-$something@opensuse.org addresses still work and forward to the new @lists.opensuse.org addresses.

I thought so, I was confused by email headers.
opensuse-announce is announce@lists.opensuse.org nowadays.

Yep. I suspect the OP did not get posted to that list. Supposedly I'm subscribed and did not get the post in that list. I can not look this instant on the archive, FF down for updating. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))

Lets spread the word in the media! I already shared this with doug, let me forward email to marketing mailing list as well. We could use some extra noise :-)
