I'm not entirely certain something similar couldn't happen again, though it 
would be difficult to create a disaster on the same scale. 

I didn't mean that Novell control is necessarily a bad thing. Leadership is 
needed, as long as the leadership makes the correct decisions ;-) 

Some other examples are the various legally motivated "limitations" imposed by 
Novell (p2p, codecs etc.). Or the pretty strange desktop selection situation, 
which doesn't reflect opensuse community interests imo.

Again, I'm not saying it's not understandable that Novell imposes certain 
things, since they pay the bills. I just tried to explain to vuntz what jdd 
meant :-)
