2) Did Board itself decided this? If yes, is there a Board meeting record available publicly, where proposal and / or final decision was done? I am mainly interested about which board member proposed it and how were the votes.
The openSUSE Board has not been involved in this topic, and it generally is outside of the scope of the board as usually agreed upon.
How is it possible, that community discussion happens _after_ announcement of Leap -> ALP and not _before_?
Leap is currently based on SUSE Linux Enterprise. Since ALP (or "ALP", I'm not sure the name is final) is going to succeed SUSE Linux Enterprise 15,
This is where the confusion starts, ALP will not replace SUSE Linux Enterprise 15. Something built from ALP will replace SUSE Linux Enterprise 15. ALP is a PLATFORM from which we build other things. ALP itself does not dictate a read-only filesystem with transactional-updates and btrfs. One of the things that we will build form ALP will be *-Micro, in that incarnation there will be a read-only root filesystem based on btrfs that uses snapshots. But *-Micro will not be the only thing that gets built from AL-PLATFORM. Ultimately this is like talking about Concrete and people basically decreeing that when you have Concrete you can only make one thing from it, a foundation. That of course is completely incorrect. Concrete is a material, people us it to build houses, walls, roads, secure fence posts, make sculptures, ...... Later, Robert
which is Leap's current base, to me it feels natural for Leap to take that step.
(That's just my personal intuition, though, and I prefer to stay out of this topic for the time being and leave it to those closer to building and maintaining our distros.)
