Since 15.4 is now GM - Will my next zypper dup by my LAST zypper dup?
All, Factory announced 15.4 is no Gold Master. So will my next zypper dup be the last zypper dup for 15.4, and then zypper up after that? Or is there some other milestone I should look for to know when to switch from zypper dup to zypper up? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

It's good, then, that I didn't reply to your first message. I would have been "wtf are you talking about??" :) General Availability release is scheduled for 1200 UTC on June 8. So yes, one more zypper dup will be in order after that date/time, then you can switch to zypper up. Personally, I've never bothered with anything more than updating the distro until after the GA is out -- just too much work for my tastes. Mileage varies, I suppose. Somewhat off point here and FWIW: After your first message arrived, I did some poking around on opensuse.org, and found a page (can't recall where, and not about to go looking for it again) that says SLE15 will be in support until 2028. If true, that means at least 4 more openSUSE minor releases before we see oS16.0 sometime around mid-2028.

No, whatever is the last Sp release of SLE 15, it will be maintained till 2028, but meanwhile SLE 16 should be released before that year (I don't know when, maybe 4 or 5 years before that). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)

Of course, 5 years before 2028 is next year, but there is no official announcement I am aware of that SLE 16 is even in the planning stage. If you go to the Roadmap on o.o, you'll see that SLE 15 SP7 (I think maybe that should read SP5) has already been confirmed, and the draft schedule for oS 15.5 is out. That means no SLE16 before 2024 at the absolute earliest -- but if SLE does indeed intend to go as far as SP7, you can push that date out another 3 years, and that means SLE16 would be in development starting in 2027 at the earliest.
