Something like:
Enterprise + Community = The Best of Both Worlds openSUSE Leap 42.1
as a banner ad or something like that. That gets the idea implanted so that later communications, you can depend on a large enough segment of the user population having equated "Enterprise + Community" with "The Best of Both Worlds" as messaging.
I also like this emphasis on both enterprise and community.
I also like "Best of" because it is nice to say, rather non-binding and still suggests you get the "Best" of something. But my problem with it is that at the same time it's also ambiguous and a bit wishy-washy. IMO not concrete enough. - first: - What worlds? Let's make a thought-experiment. Imagine an advertisement or news article for Leap in a computer-magazine. What would the hurried reader think if he sees "Best of both worlds"? - second: - "Enterprise" - What exactly does that mean? What does it stand for? Is that really immediately clear? Is it stability? Commerce? Or what? - third: - "Community" - What exactly does that mean? Would that be immediately clear for everybody? Is it software? Facebook? And would it really communicate a benefit? A strong argument to switch to Leap? I have my doubts.
On the other hand using stability or being up to date as the main messages will cause some problems after a couple of releases, when e.g. some bug gets into the release (which happens from time to time, e.g. 13.1 had a bug that prevented successful install on certain pretty new dell laptops with broadcom wifi, and there was an issue with keyboard layouts), or some exotic packages won't be in the newest versions (which happens all the time), etc. Then users will complain, and trolls will use this as their weapon.
I'm only saying - it's better to be careful with promises.
As I've already said: Too late! Do you know what "42" stands for? ;) And "42.1" is even improved! ;) On a more serious note: Nobody expects a "perfect" product. Nor would we promise one. And it's a known fact that if you made a mistake and admit it and work hard to put it right as soon as possible, your customers will value your effort and like the product even more.
