Hi,

The distrowatch knows only five (really 2.5) RPM-based distros with
fixed-release model and armv7 support: openSUSE/SLES, Fedora (which
already discontinued armv7), Mageia, and ALT Linux. So, I would say
that armv7l support for Leap should stay. But in-fact it seems to be
half-dead. If anybody knows what I (personally) can do to help enable
repos/QA for 15.3, please tell.
