In my experience Kay is a lot quicker to dismiss something as "legacy" than (SLE) customers or (openSUSE) users. Don't worry, for the former we have people keeping an eye on the real customer requirements, but I certainly advise to be somewhat careful on openSUSE as well. If this is business-critical to Novell why doesn't anybody ensure that NFS-mounted /usr keeps working?
It is a fully supported scenario for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
(and the releases before) and very likely will be a fully supported
scenario for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.
It is not a top priority for Novell to see in openSUSE 11.4 and "ensure"
is too strong a word from that perspective though it would be sad to see
it being broken. Let's keep in mind: when it comes to openSUSE, Novell
is just one stakeholder, even if one contributing a ton.
