more like "stable" for people who are using the machine for day to day business,
where the pain of downtime far exceeds the cool of new features.

and "bleeding edge" for the newbies, who dont have legacy setups that need
integrating and dont care if application xyz breaks for a bit .. or changes its file format or or or or.....

the business might go broke cause its uses xyz for its day to day operations.
the business will wait till suse fully integrates the new stuff, and they have themelves have tested it fully.

good luck :)
