Distributions quote of the week

Yes, openSUSE had problems producing regular releases for years due to lack of contributions. Yes these problems were known, publicly announced, and efforts made to rectify them over years. These efforts failed, and the patience of the remaining regular release builders ran out after 13.2

Leap was thrown in to plug the gap for our users who had not followed our (many and still growing) contributor base to Tumbleweed.

Leap was initially designed to be very open to contributions that would diverge from SLE. Few of these contributions came, so Closing the Leap Gap was the result, and Leap is now less open to such contributions. [...]

I really think Leap (like any conventional regular release) is a lost cause now in 2022.
