Maybe some ignorance at the management level. You're right that we're no
longer able to fix the errors that have been made prior to the 10.1
release - so at the moment we can only explain what happened, we can try
to provide information to work around some of the problems, and we can
try to track down all the issues and help to solve them. I am sure that
many developers at Novell/SUSE currently work on fixing the remaining
problems.

Nevertheless, it's a bad situation and I am sure SUSE Linux has lost
some reputation. Therefore, from the community's point of view it's also
important to ensure that we will not face a situation like that again!
This means, for instance, it's important to convince those people at
Novell/SUSE in charge of the release that major changes in a late beta
stage are not acceptable from a user's perspective. In our company,
nobody would come up with an idea to make major changes in such a late
stage of the development process - this was like calling for problems
and trouble...

Cheers,
Th.
