No, I guess they simply wanted to avoid the "unlucky 13" and 14 because
of the tetraphobia of Asian customers. There are several other projects
which jumped from 12 to 15 in past for this reason.
Jumping backwards is something very special of openSUSE Leap. I guess
it's hard to find another project who did the same. Maybe some projects
exist with versions which are aligned to 2-digit year numbers but I'm
sure most of them would provide a sane machine-readable ordered version,
different from the random marketing version.
