Sorry but you can't compare the situation of volunteers in a community-based open source project, and a paid-for developer that get its work assignments by management decree. That just doesn't work. If you want that behavior "as a customer", you have to pay.
I think that is an unreasonable statement and one which presents openSUSE devs in a bad way.
The openSUSE devs do a magnificent job and I'd bet many of them put more effort and pride into their openSUSE projects than their day job.
For the record, I think you completely misunderstood the point that I wanted to make. It was never about pride and effort, but about relative importance of bug reports and priorization of work. Not all bug reports are made equal. One needs to prioritize. If you think different, you live in a different universe than mine.
