If what you say is true (only "automated tests") then the wording in the Tumbleweed Portal is goobly-dook and would not pass the 'truthfullness' test if it was a commercial on the TV.
Not so and to my recall, never intended for any representation on "TV" in any form other than serving or building displays.
Oh Patrick, the reference to TV was not intended to mean that openSUSE/Tumbleweed will appear in a TV commercial :-( .
But then why doesn't it have all the available repositories available to it for people to use? For example there are: Well, that's up to the people that create those repos.
Translation: It's someone else's fault - fine. But who is responsible for managing those "people who create those repos."? No, Translation: People who create "those" repos control what destinations are published.
Someone else's fault would apply to your failure to research the structure and intent of Tw.
Sorry, ol' boy! But why should *I* go researching the structure and intent on TW?! The bloody thing is available for download from the official openSUSE site and there are instructions on how to install it and all that jazz. If openSUSE want to release something like Tumbleweed AND also have Kulow have a presentation on the forthcoming "Expo" then Tumbleweed is something which openSUSE considers to be a MAJOR piece of software. And you don't spend human and computer and financial resources in pushing a piece of crap.

but there is not mention of them: they don't appear in the list of repositories in YaST nor are they mentioned in the Tumbleweed Portal. Not all repos are listed everywhere for all distributions. And the structure changes without documentation update. Sorry, but you are trying to defend the indefensible here. If 13.1, 13.2, and earlier, can have the repos shown in YaST then Tumbleweed should also have the repos applicable to it shown. And the same applies to your search for an "update" repo labled Tw, but Tw by definition is an "update" repo with no need for "another update" repo. And Tw repos for 13.1/13.2/.... are redundant as Tw is already quite past those repos as it is as up-to-date/current as possible w/o actually using unstable version of Factory.
You either completely mis-understand the intent of Tw or are again arguing for the sake of argument. :Y)
I cannot help concluding that it is you who are misunderstanding the situation.
paka waiting for the hammer to fall.
