You do realize that Fedora is referred to, even internally, as 'bleeding edge' right? If I look at the package versions e.g. on http://distrowatch.com I would say, that Fedora 22 (latest released Fedora distribution) can be somehow compared with openSUSE 13.2 and Fedora Rawhide can be compared with openSUSE Tumbleweed.
My personal opinion: Having 'bleeding edge' packages is a good strategy in relation to security. I prefer bleeding edge packages over back-ported security patches.
If course security is not the only objective for a Linux distribution. Functionality, stability, the amount of packages etc. are important too. I liked the old development model of openSUSE. Some years ago we had 4 openSUSE releases each year. openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap are both big steps in opposite directions. Currently I am not happy with both for production systems. On my personal desktops I will probably go to Tumbleweed.

By package count, Leap is expected to be 20% or less from SLES. The other 80% will follow the old 13.2 model from what I can see. The decision to abandon openSUSE Leap should be made a year or more from now. Greg -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
