Please note that for a lot of users of Leap 15.1 that are also using KDE PIM 
suite, because of the akonadi / Kontact  bug 1173759

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173759

15.2 is not usable.

This will literally  force out a lot of kde users from the distribution. And 
using Leap 
15.2 with a broken PIM is IMO simply no option. The constant re-indexing of 
Akonadi of all mail, that is 
circular and tedious, causes the machine to overheat and shutdown, you loose 
data, the indexes constantly corrupt. 

So, you can send heads up. Since there is no activity on this important bug 
for what I can see, 
when you force the change, I for my part will be forced to change distribution 
the first time since I began to use Linux or endure with an outdated 
unsupported version (also never happened to me), so
far about: "have a lot of fun". 

Is there anybody assigned to this bug really, or did you "just give up" and it 
is won't fix? Then it should be correctly flagged to allow the necessary 
choices for the users hit by it.
