Hm, does that mean we won't reach world domination? Just kidding... ;)

Yes, of course the approach should be standardized and distribution
independent. But as we work for SuSE our focus will naturally be on
a perfect integration into _our_ distribution. 

That does not mean that we want to create proprietary solutions but in the
opposite choose a modular approach, like Jörg wrote: Create a framework
of configuration usable for all distributions and a bunch of specific
frontends like a YaST module or something else. Everybody is welcome to
work together with us on such a modular framework, even if s/he is using
Debian like you. ;)
