It didn't ask you in 11.2 because there is no Smolt update yet.

It's why I checked whether smolt was even installed.  But if it's
still running and meant to be started then, do we have any access to
some  summary information?

Please note that Smolt doesn't run neither as a service nor as a background
process sending periodically (monthly by default) your hardware profile unless
you tell it explicitly (/etc/init.d/smolt). This is, openSUSE does not enable
that service by default.

So basically, we have very little idea what hardware our release have
been tested on, and no information is openly available to openSUSE
users, or those who try to spec. out a system to run openSUSE well?

The very visible 11.1 new feature, is just melting away and being forgotten?
http://www.google.com/search?q=smolt+site%3Aopensuse.org doesn't show very much.
smolt.org has Active Hosts last 90 days, as 20,910 for 11.1 and just
175 for 11.2, which is too small a sample to be useful.
