Well, that tells us that you've been reading neither this mailinglist (which pointed out non-backwards-compatibility as the "upstream" 2.4 was announced in the first place) nor release notes like the ones for Fedora 43
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/release-notes/sysadmin/#d...
which brought the 2.3-to-2.4 switch to those of my systems that *have* switched so far - note that that was a *major* version upgrade, no less.
Of course, Tumbleweed states that it doesn't even *have* clear versioning, much less any update steps being flagged as "major" or "risky" ones
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Upgrade_Tumbleweed
to serve as a warning sign for you ...
