Well, for all we know, SUSE might have changed everything in the past up
untill the RC 27 or whatever. It is just that now we see it. It would
however be nice if we could get some more insight as to why it has been
done.

I say: if it means improvement, bring it on. I don't see a release date 
after RC 1 and testing, so I am not sure what preasure there is timewise.

Also what has changes could be explained better (perhaps with a HTML file
on the Alpha/Beta CD's or some other form) so people know where to look
and where NOT to look.

OTOH not having any information will let people wander around and the
absence of a guideline could bring up bugs that a more structured testing
would not show.
