"sales losses" are quite difficult for a product that is mostly downloaded.
The next 10.2 kernel update will include USBFS again btw.
Cool, use support returns for Vmware. How soon?

As I wrote in my last email, there are several ways to deal with this problem. If you have to support many systems and not just your local desktop system, then the simplest way might be an RPM package that replaces the default usbcore.ko (from the SuSE kernel installation) with a new (your own) version that has USB_DEVICEFS enabled. This might minimize the possible side-effects as only a single file is changed. [...]

Turns out that vmware isn't going to change anything, so making our users (and executives) have to build their own kernels is not something we should be doing.
