I've started talking to Greg KH, the guy who implemented openSUSE
Tumbleweed. Here is what he said:

None.

Nope, it's trivial to maintain (5-10 minutes ever few days at most),
thanks to our wonderful infrastructure (the open build system).

What do you mean by "return"?

Lots and lots of people use it and rely in it every day, and are very
happy with it, so it is succeeding as far as I can tell.  Is that what
you mean?

Note, if you infrastructure can't handle such a thing as a rolling
release like obs can support, then it will be difficult for you to do
this in Fedora.

best of luck,

So, is anyone here familiar to openSUSE Build System? Can Koji do the same?
