To me it is confusing, annoying and childish. Please remove it from future releases. Discussion: #1: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) (2010-12-28 13:21:55) I hate Christmas, but I love the penguin boot menu. Remember the openSUSE motto - 'Have a lot of fun'. If this proposal gets adopted we'll have to change it to 'Somebody is trying to spoil your fun'. + #2: Jimmy Berry (boombatower) (2010-12-28 16:56:16) + I look forward to seeing that bootloader...nice to spice things up. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311021

If you don't want it, better ask to split packages and remove it from your system. I'm Christian and have nothing against Christmas flavour in my computer. If Muslims and others boycott Christmas, let them have a spin of SUSE. Hey, they already can make it! There's SUSE Studio. And you, if you don't like it, prepare yourself custom system.
