Hard to imagine a company with $2B in annuals and $1/2B quarterly just wants to throw flatpacks at it? https://ir.suse.com/websites/suse/English/6400/quarterly-reports.html
Thanks for providing that pointer. This makes it easy for folks to get to actual numbers (which are quite a bit different).
Somewhere someone with little regard for openSUSE has made the decision to cut costs.
I can guarantee this is not the case. This is about user experience, lifecycle challenges, technical questions, and balancing requirements. (Mind, I'm not claiming it's easy nor that the current drafts on the table are where things will end up. Just that the people working on this do care about open source and openSUSE and that cost cutting is not the driver.) Gerald
