[...] Also putting something new in late in the beta phase is not usually a smart thing to do. At this point in the development cycle we should be looking at a system which is relatively stable and the differences between the Beta releases should be bug fixes for what is already there.

Yes, I agree completely to your paragraph - but the package manager did not make the deadline and we really wanted to have it in 10.1, so decided to get it in really late (planned for beta3 but that schedule was not met). I do hope that this kind of major functionality change will not happen in future releases again, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
