I use it... but sure, remove it from the DVD. If it needs to go in a
media, probably that could be an openSUSE-Education thing?

What called more my attention:
- frozen-bubble-2.2.0rc1. I'm not against it, but probably you can fit
two or three other games in that space. And note that the 2.2.0final
version has been available in the "games" repository for a long time.
- opensuse-manual_de. OK, I don't know Germany so much... but I would
expect nobody is still using 56K modems there. I don't have any other
package in mind for those 26M... but if is ever any need for space
that package would be my first candidate to be removed. (no, I don't
speak german ;-) )
