Than Debian?  Seriously?  Have you seen the different ways you can run
things on there these days?  With/without udev/hal/systemd/etc. are all
"supported" as are other types of configurations and architectures that
openSUSE and Fedora rightly don't support.

Now I personally like the way openSUSE handles this, and believe that
you need to make some choices at some levels in order to provide a
coherent system that works well together.  Debian and Gentoo allow the
users to make those choices much better than openSUSE and Fedora, and
that's an explicit choice of all of these distros.
