I visit that as well. As long as you visit en.opensuse.org, there should
be no change.

I still would prefer it, however it has been decided not to do it.

I would indeed also like something like this. It must however be obvious
for the user that he can easily change this setting. Preference on his
user settings page perhaps? I would like another preference there as well
and that is auto login on visit. Half the time I can't be botherd to
change something in the wiki, because I must go through the login process.

free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I
tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free
because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
