Will it be Slowroll or Linarite – or nothing at all? Programmers are conflicted about where the venerable Linux distro should go from here.

Correct, SUSE, the corporation is no longer providing a traditional linux distribution, after the SLE-15 EOL.
openSUSE, which is a community project, and not controlled by SUSE, is currently debating as to whether we have the contributors interested in doing so, and in sufficient numbers, to continue to provide a traditional point release distribution.
Tumbleweed (the rolling release) is not going anywhere. The community has not yet decided if the interest and manpower is there to use the ALP sources provided by SUSE to create A) A traditional linux distribution, akin to what Leap currently is, B) a “Slowroll” version of Tumbleweed, that has a slower release cycle, or C) Nothing at all, because there isn’t the community there to support the development of it.
SUSE != openSUSE
