My post was technical (I gave some ideas how to solve problems), not a 
personal attack. 

Since I would like to keep it this way, just a short personal answer:
a) pay or don't say anything -- it is just a excuse, so the user would 
think that for 100E she/he is not buying quality system but rather 
right to speak about it

b) help
b.1) * when user just uses linux it is bad, because she/he should send
       bug/wish/crash reports
     * when user already does that it is also bad, because she/he
       should send patches
     * and so on

     Sorry, I won't regret that I am not dying from overwork
 
b.2) I already try to help seeking bugs or new ideas, I have only 24h 
per day so I am unable simply to type faster, sleep less, and simply 
not live my life (unfortunately I do the last part for a long time)

b.3) last but not least, suggesting that I don't help (or my help does 
not count) is just rude (not to me, but to any person, it is not 
about computers Stephan)


Back to technical issues -- I would be glad to hear if solving 
problems with backward compatibility has rather green light in 
opensuse or it is just a matter of "some users" (in other words: buy 
a new computer). I would be glad to discuss how to solve it, so new 
users would get the best system while users who just upgrade do this 
without struggling.

have a nice day, bye
