Beat up on VMWare if it's nothing that can't be fixed locally, I do that to NVidia and VirtualBox - nicely. It's a nonsense to expect openSUSE to stay wedded to obsolescence because vendors are too lazy or don't care, adding complications when an upstream fix is probably a no-brainer.
Going to the source of the problem is the sane solution.
Surely, everyone knows.
SUSE can do that better than me. Business listen to business partners, not to plain users. I expect openSUSE developers and packagers to be sensitive to their user base, not uppity.
"Business listen to business partners" (the "uppity") is not a contrast to "plain users", but - in my mind - some sort of focussing the right way. Business partners of SUSE have to pay before they get heared, and if, they mostly have important critics to bring. Solving those goes to the whole community, so - if ever - I would like to see a priority scheme there which is "reality proven". Money takes the world go round. Community is necessary to achieve continuous progress (as a mind action which has the chance to concrete in reality), but business can help to assure stability/usefullness all over the time.
