Yes, and they are closing all bug reports as "works for me" if you do not have 200% proof that it is broken, and because
the openSUSE setup is very limited feature-wise, they are not able to reproduce anything that will happen to your. Been
there, done that. So I know what to think about statements made by adrian, mls & co :-)

running 2.7 on 42.2 should be a no-brainer, everything OBS needs is delivered by OBS repos anyway and the OS is "mostly
harmless".
I had been running 2.7 at home on 42.1 long before this was "supported", means: when SLES11 or 13.1 was the only
"supported" platform and never seen a problem that could be attributed to an OS issue.

But if 2.8 is actually released, then everything is fine, and you are running an even more supported system then.

Best regards and good luck :-)
