I must join the protesters.
First of all I don't agree with the premise that noone knows about the feature
- any noob is told about it first time he tries to install some 3D-driver or
doing other xorg-configuration or when desktop effects freeze his X or
something similar. It's very frequently used.
Secondly I've never heard about nor seen the problem ever, in 2-3 years of
being a front line soldier on IRC, webforums, usenet and LUG meetings. It seems
only Novell employees with strange laptops without "Windows"-keys and using
power-user/hacker word processing shortcuts, that aunt Tillie never even
imagined, have the problem. Furthermore other distributions, even the almighty,
super cool and friendly Ubuntu, don't have a problem with having this feature
enabled. So maybe the leet Novell hackers in question should just disable the
option themselves manually if they have a problem, instead of dumping down
openSUSE by removing/hiding functionality.
Thirdly, the whole process of this is very troubling. Some of us eat, sleep,
shit and talk openSUSE, and we're beginning to have rather well working
project, with good cooperation and communication between employees and
community members - and suddenly some people show up, whom I've never seen a
single mailinglist post from or a comment in an IRC status meeting, nothing,
and these people seemingly dictate what shall be done for openSUSE against the
will of the package maintainers and active users. Alarming stuff.
