To me the answer is quite clear: In particular the mass market of
Microsoft users must be the target. Apple demonstrates that it is possible to bite them. :) And I also like to bite these shiny Apples.
Wonderfully phrased!
It boils down to the main question: Do you want to promote why 11.2 is good? Or do you want to promote why 11.2 is better (compared to others)!
The sentiments are absolutely wonderful, there is no doubt about it. But do you read the opensuse-factory list, and have read the posts there in the past several days? Do you want to promote at this point in the manner suggested a distro which has one bug which will/may bite many people on the bum as early as at its installation time? Promotion of the kind now being suggested may, in my opinion, very well backfire, have the reverse effect, and come to haunt oS and its promoters for a long time :-( . Striking a bug on installation time is one thing, and this can be claimed to be the result of an unforeseen last minute glitch, but to come across such a bug when the distro has been "promoted" to be the 'ants's pants', particularly when records show that the bug was known about, and discussed, before release time, then the claims about the distro's wonderful qualities will fall flat on their face.
