Yes, it is. Perhaps SUSE feel that KDE is far enough along now that they
can proceed with less help from SUSE. Maybe they want to now help GNOME
so that it can reach the same completeness as KDE. (Flame away. Don't
care. My opinion is my own.) Then there may really be two desktop
choices. This way, they do not have all their desktop eggs in one
basket. Maybe SUSE's KDE experience will be useful in making GNOME and
KDE play nice together.
Of course, some sort of roadmap from SUSE would help. I hope they are
working on one.
