There is a clear division between SUSE and openSUSE. And I get removal of stupid spec file constructs should happen but there needs to be agreement from both sides.
No idea why you think it's SUSE vs. openSUSE. I assume you mean the technical requirement of having a RPM Group Tag for existing SUSE products. This exists and cannot be removed, only for new SUSE products.
Yes, typically new packages from SUSE employees are more likely to not have a Group Tag but some are getting added to Factory with them after Oct 2019. And, because of https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_group_guidelines and copying from other spec files, typically packages from openSUSE contributors have Group tags. Because of the current policy of whatever the maintainer says we end up with a mish mash (no uniformity). Callum

(https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2019-10/msg00114.html): The bottom paragraph of this is appalling I must say, we should be a community by which everyone has equal view not by enforcement, and this was repeated to r/openSUSE on Reddit.
(https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2019-10/msg00188.html) (https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2019-10/msg00147.html) Still the current position and I bet any attempt to do otherwise will resume that war.
I myself will sit on the fence because we need openSUSE + SUSE = great :) otherwise especially now (CTLG) both sides will ground to a halt.
