Before this goes on and on like the opensuse@ thread, I propose that I
(being someone interested in the beagle decision and somewhat
responsible for its packaging) put together a summary of the issues
real/perceived, known bugs and a list of the options.  I should be able
to do this sometime next week.

One note is that there really hasn't been a precedent for discussing
distro changes like this in public, its generally been up to "the powers
that be" - either the team leads or developers at Novell for various
components or coolo/aj to make this decision so this is kind of a
change.
