(I) am now planning on upgrading my 13.2 install to a new one.
Obvious question is, which one?
A brief, precise, authoritative "LEAP, Tumbleweed, LEAP vs. Tumbleweed" in the official doco would answer this. I don't know of one of that. I wonder if it's worth making one. My take: The risk vs. flexibility is (?intended to be?) different between Leap and Tumbleweed. If you want to play with the stuff contained in the distro, use Tumbleweed; if you want to Just Use It(tm), use LEAP; if you want to hack something to perhaps be included in the distro eventually, the path is through Tumbleweed first. Or more formally: Tumbleweed elements (upstream and SUSE-made, both) are updated to new versions frequently to relatively weaker functionality and integration regression standards (vs. LEAP), with no expectation of ongoing patch support of the version provided, while LEAP element *versions* are baselined with numbered LEAP releases, with a relatively stronger quality standard (stability, functionality and integration), and patch support for that element version for the life of the "release." Or not. Just my impression.
