openSUSE Leap 15.0 is now officially discontinued and out of support

openSUSE Leap 15.0 was released end of May 2018, making it 18 months of
security and bugfix support.

It was the fourth hybrid distribution which used sources from SUSE Linux
Enterprise and from our community developers to bridge a gap between
matured packages and newer packages found in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
