If you think this is a discussion, you misunderstood something.  This is 
decided as part of the opensuse-style project that was announced months ago.  
Discussion is already closed on this item.  Installation Source is the only 
term allowed in program texts so development might as well start fixing it.

If you had an interest in terminology, you should have paid attention to the 
announcement.

10.3 is expected to be a transitional release while the official terminology 
is implemented.  After 10.3, any variation in SUSE developed programs and 
manuals will be considered a bug.
