The supplementary tree is however not a "released" SUSE version.

Originating as a hobbiest project, it is/was a "for your information" 
style of updates, which were:

- totally and absolutely unsupported
- not for the faint at heart, since breakage could happen
- provided as-is, no QA
- etc.

They are now beeing replaced by the next generation of "supplementary", 
the openSUSE buildservice, which has:
- more possibilities
- more flexibility
- as part of the openSUSE project is a bit more official

Oh, and I missed the suse-announce lists with my 9.1 discont announcement,
it should have gone there too.

CIao, Marcus
