I'm not sure I was complaining, just caught me off guard that in Sept.
2007 I install the best non-beta version of opensuse and 15 months
later I will lose support for it.  Somehow it seems the timing if
funky.

Under the old release schedule one could say that opensuse was
supported for 18-months after the follow-on release was made.  With
the new schedule, its only 14 months.
