That's what I've been trying to say. :-)  It's not a openSUSE
decision... it was an Xorg decision.

Before anyone yells about sax2 yet again... the package needed a
maintainer... not one person stepped up or even responded when the
call went out for someone to take over maintenance.  No maintainer
means... no package.  It's the harsh reality of OSS.

I'd bet that if someone were to step up even now and resurrect sax2..
fix the bugs in it etc... it could be made available again via the
community repos.
