And then home desktop and laptop users feel out.
I think they _are_ out. At least by 2016 or 2017.
So I'm out, you say?
Me too.
Unless my expectations for hardware support and desktop software availability and up-to-dateness towards the middle and end of the 3-5 year release cycle turn out to be completely wrong.
Could it be that you're having a problem with the concept of the coming release as such? I mean the long-term-approach/integration of SUSE-packages?
I thought this has already been decided. Or is it still open for discussion? There's nothing open for discussion. The future is written.
OK - then let's make the best of it.
Regarding the concept I think openSUSE 42 will be a pretty good competitor for Debian, FreeBSD, Ubuntu Server and CentOS on SOHO servers, but I also think it will be as irrelevant on the desktop as the before mentioned.
Ahh - now I understand your "Home Server" - proposal. But you may underestimate the number of those who are looking for stability and reliability - for the desktop! Especially in ever faster changing times.
But there are some unknowns. A lot of claims and "promises" have been made trying to sell the idea, about SLE major releases coming every 3 years (not taking 5 years like the last one), yearly SLE service packs which are "exciting". Hardware support which is backported, and whatnot. Only time will tell if any of that holds true.
Well, with a positive attitude things tend to get better. The more success the coming release has, the more influence openSUSE will have on future developments.
