If you have to do an addendum to what you wrote only a few minutes ago 
then can you understand my confusion - and I cannot be alone on this - 
about this whole matter? :-)

What I really cannot understand is that this appears to be a major 
problem with respect to using openSUSE and yet this whole question has 
been pushed onto "the community" to try and resolve!

Where is "the Board"? Where is "the Foundation"? Where is anyone who 
actually knows what is going on and what has to done about this situation?

Oh, right...one must not ask questions like this... not the sort of 
questions one asks in polite company..... Asking questions like this 
only gets you the title of "troll"......
