To be realistic it ins't a question of community only. Somebody mentioned already that community tends to support recent releases. That's true, probably. But even if there would be support by them I would have need to know it before life cycle ends. I still think you could give it a try. Otherwise me and maybe others will have to turn away from opensuse, finally. If I want to or not. If somebody asks me about a system living longer I have to say: Yes there's one. Recently I read an article about managed servers. In summary it was saying that most systems were old and therefor they have security issues. They will, I'm sure, use LTS'ed distributions in future. Self administrated systems will follow... In the end people will say: linux? That's debian and its derivates.
