I think you could add info on KDE3 being included in 12.1. Possibly it worth mentioning that this makes asylum for at least a part of users who dislike Gnome 3.
- The message sent by a retrograde step. Being unique in a bad way is not good for the project. Making a thing out of including KDE 3 is saying that we as a project invest energy in going backwards, and push (sorry) futile efforts as features. The set of KDE 3 users who have not yet switched to KDE 4 or to something else is small and we are not going to win more users, more contributors or recognition for the distro by speaking to these users' needs.
For what it is worth I am agreed with Will. It is a fine thing that opensuse is flexible thing interested in accommodating the needs of many, but marketing what is demonstrably the past will not help opensuse grow, and will distract potential users from the real innovations contained therein.
