It is. It's called Factory, and you can set it as an installation source
and get the very latest through the recently discussed System Update
feature in YaST. It's so current that, much like Debian's bleeding edge,
it's frequently broken due to not having all dependencies built yet

"Not for users" means "don't expect things to work properly", which I'd
say is pretty normal for a beta. People shouldn't install it and expect
a polished distribution version.

No updates means there's nothing in YaST Online Update, which is a
separate distribution method for security patches.
