There are no two hats. Why did Novell launch openSUSE and maintain strong 
support now over 2 and half years? To do something against openSUSE? This I 
doubt strongly. 
Of course Novell likes to have a say in openSUSE and there might be sometimes 
different opinions. But the current board and the Guidng Principels already 
show that Novell opens up and want to listen to the community and drive 
opensuse together - not against - the community.
