Jip: we do the same for old releases (means: the OBS repo is in a
"build disabled" state). So users who have added the repo to their list
would only get new packages once some packager enabled build for that
repository explizitely.  

That is the fact in Education for 11.4 already - and I like to do it
also for 12.1 and maybe even 12.2 once 12.2 is released (objections?). 

That way, packagers can concentrate on the upcoming release and just
need to touch a package for old releases once a user requests an update
or the packager wants to maintain it for old releases.

That would drastically reduce the "refresh time" of the Education repo
for endusers as the repo metadata will only change if an important
update is released for their distribution.

Absolutely. ...and thanks a lot for your work on those packages!

With kind regards,
