Not from my experience. They're almost always having Fedora categories
(Applications/*), which are quite simplistic and do not comply with the
SUSE Package Conventions.

Cool. What "RSS aggregator" do you mean ?

Again, from my experience they almost never provide .desktop files that
match openSUSE's tree of categories.
Thinking of it, make that "almost never" a "never"
