It looks like OpenSuSE has decided to deprecate Leap,
their long-term stable release,
possibly in favour of Tumbleweed, their rolling release (they're being very coy
about
what will replace Leap).
Prior to Leap, openSUSE simply used version numbers, and Factory was equivalent to
what we now know as Tumbleweed. It's my expectation that Leap expiration will
amount to little more than another name change, as when Leap was added to the
version number after 13.2 release, "leaping" over v14.x to 15.0. In any event,
15.5 /will/ follow 15.4, and remain supported until the end of 2024 at least.
