I'm not sure that it's "totally counter" - at least if I'm looking on how Red
Hat sees and handles CentOS. For sure, Novell would love paying customers -
but Novell also offers more than "openSLES" will: especially support - and a
support organization -, maintenance and compliances.

Nevertheless I agree, an openSLES should not be part of openSUSE. On the
other hand a "openSUSE LTS" is something that can live under the openSUSE
project just fine IMHO,
