From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SUSE doesn’t build openSUSE or control its direction (they have influence, but not in the same way). Leap had been planned to move to ALP, which looks like the future of SUSE Enterprise. If they changed that plan it is likely due to resources, ALP is primary focused at servers I believe. If they decide to go with only Slowroll and Tumbleweed is a community decision, and it appears the polling about it has been done within the community not dictated.
I think it is very likely openSUSE will have a vanilla ALP distro of some sort as well, without adding bunch of extras to it that add maintenance burden. Just like they do with Micro OS and the other alternatives that aren’t really viable for desktop.
Edit: to the last piece, the actual email about the survey mentions a 1:1 with ALP, so if somebody wanted “SUSE Stable” that is probably what they should look for.
It seems more like where SUSE is going and where openSUSE as a distribution wants to go are different directions, that’s very little in common with the Red Hat / CentOS / Code issue.
