Why is openSUSE following others when it is supposed to be the trendsetter - or so many of us think so?
Being a trendsetter does not mean to be leading _everywhere_.
To begin with, one has to be first considered a "trendsetter" and the management has to consider the organisation it manages to either be or desire to be a "trendsetter". Does the powers-which-are-controlling openSUSE consider themselves to be "trendsetters"? "Being a trendsetter does not mean to be leading _everywhere_. " Of course not. But there must be goal, a direction, a plan, an aim for an organisation.
That simply does not scale in terms of focus, resources, etc. The question rather is: where is it most valuable to invest, to innovate, to lead for openSUSE to be successful?
OK, accepted. What is Novell aiming at with openSUSE - and consuming resources? One of the 'mandatory' questions I asked when interviewing potential employees was, "Where do you expect to be in your career in 5 years time?". So.....what is the "scale in terms of focus, resources, etc." to which you are referring above to achieve what openSUSE will be in 5 years time? :-) BC -- Take the bull by the tail and look the facts in the face.
