I'm sure it's unnecessary but I'd like to support Pascal and the guidelines
here.  All communities have rules, both written and unwritten.  A
fundamental value of openSUSE is respect for others, and this image did not

If, instead, he'd chosen a picture by Botticelli or Rubens then we could
have admired the female form without the associations of the Playboy Club
;-)
