I am very pleased to see this released, as some good improvements have been made. Note, however, that there have been some last-minute troubles with NetworkManager and ifup, and I am not sure they have been 100% fixed[1]. Heise pointed out that they had the same problem with the release version[2]. If any problem should arise, YaST should be able to switch between using ifup and NetworkManager. Other than that: try Tumbleweed, the sort-of-rolling-release based on the current major version[3]. It is about to be rebased to 12.3 and will receive updates more quickly than the mainline. And it is curated and steered by Greg KH!
