    I like the linked Jonathan Corbet LWN article.

    The results are somewhat ambiguous. On the one hand, there seems to be a significant portion of the community that would prefer to keep Leap going in something close to its current form. On the other, though, there is also a lot of interest in rolling distributions, which are almost the opposite of how the core of Leap is managed. […]

    After looking at the survey responses, Brown came to a few conclusions regarding where, in his opinion, the openSUSE community should focus its efforts. By his reading, the respondents “overwhelmingly” support rolling releases; as a result, he said, any Leap replacement should look like Slowroll rather than Linarite. “It is the most popular with our users, and the option more closely aligned to what our contributors use themselves.” (emphasis mine)

    Hahaha. Good old Richard!

    (I personally like the idea of Slowroll though. I hated when openSUSE stopped providing the GNOME:Next repos for Leap. Otoh, I am no longer using openSUSE anyway.)
