Not really, no. Placing it here allows others to support or object the request. And if it makes sense, there are enough developers subscribed to put it to work :)
Stephan: I just submitted open-vm-tools to STABLE. According to reception on this (and other lists), it would be good idea to push this package into distribution. Dominique also suggested that it should be installed (with correct kernel module) automagically when YaST detects VMware host. I talked to YaST folks and we could use following methods:
a) package supplements PCI ID of VMware hardware, but this solution is not clean and requires increased maintenance This is what our policy is.
b) use HAL to detect VMware hardware - much cleaner - for example, YaST detects XFS partitions and if it founds any, package xfsprogs is installed Because the xfsprogs has supplements: filesystem(xfs) in there.
