No, it's more like "this is vmware's problem, as they do not want to
opensource the drivers and include them in the kernel" thing. You can
read the conversation there in the case. Too sad that more often this
attitude happens on opensuse bugzilla - there was a ran a few weeks
ago about such a behavior.

What on Earth does THAT have to do with the kernel header idea? I
understand the need to filter through the submitted bugs... but good
grief... this is getting rather ridiculous. I did read through the
bug, but was desperately hoping that I misread or missed something.

The more this stuff happens with openSUSE, the less I see "us" as a
community :-( What happened? Does anyone care anymore?
