I am now starting to think that SuSE will actually begin to push Gnome over and above KDE in the near future. If this happens I truly believe it will be a big mistake.
I think SuSE wants to go Gnome-only. They are half-heartedly continuing to include it for now, because of user complaints, but I won't be surprised to see them drop it entirely after a while, or at least relegate it to a status of near-oblivion.
We're supporting both GNOME and KDE - and just look at the current SUSE Linux 10.1 RCs, it contains both a good KDE and a good GNOME. The change is that with 10.1 we have - compared to e.g. 9.1 - not one but two desktops that we take special care of.
Though I understand your position, and I appreciate you sending an email to the list, I cannot imagine that this is the prevailing opinion at headquarters in Utah or Massachuset. I can very easily see the tide slowly turning from one of emphatic support of KDE to that of simple maintenance.
There might be individuals - inside and outside of Novell - that would like a GNOME or KDE distribution, but the commitment for SUSE Linux is to support both,
As I imagine you will to some degree for some time. Thank you for your comments. -- k
