[bitfolk] What do you consider the lifetime of an OpenSUSE Leap release to be?

Hello, Owing to some fine work by a customer, we will soon be able to list OpenSUSE Leap as supported: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/User:Moggers87/Installing_Opensuse This prompts a perhaps somewhat philosophical question: In the context of our supported distros bit: https://bitfolk.com/techspec.html#toc_2_Available_Linux_distributions what would you consider the supported lifetime of OpenSUSE Leap to be? I don't know very much about OpenSUSE. From what I have been able to gather: - The current release is 15.3 - This was released 2021-06-30 - Support lasts for 6 months after the next minor release - "Support" means no major updates to packages, just security fixes or serious bugs fixed - A minor release roughly every year - So 15.3 support ends around December 2022, as 15.4 will be released around 2022-06 - In-place upgrade is supported to next minor release (or even through major releases?) - The last 15.x minor version is expected to be 15.5 in 2023 supported until some time in 2024 Do you consider that EOL 2022-12, or EOL 2024-XX? Since you HAVE to do an update or else don't get security fixes, I think that is EOL 2022-12. That does make OpenSUSE Leap look like a little worse option though unless you fully understand this. On the other hand, I'm not sure I can truthfully state that its EOL would be 2024-XX as that may lead someone who does not do the research to think they can only do package upgrades all the way out to 2024. So, erring on the side of caution, it should be listed as 2022-12, right? (The other entries are also complicated by the different tiers of support, and I continue to remain conflicted over listing Ubuntu's ESM which is free but requires registration.)
