But it would need to have some developers and packagers with sense for the interesting use cases in practice (beyond single user laptop)
Better to say developer's laptop, as taking over power management showed that they are really self centric. They wanted to drop all the quirks collected trough time that allowed users to run Linux on hardware (HW) with buggy BIOS.
While in theory bug in BIOS is a problem that hardware provider should solve, in practice, that BIOS works fine in Windows and its vendor will do nothing to fix a problem. User that installs Linux and have a problem will just ditch new toy.
Indeed.
rather than only people who just "want to do the work".
I guess that early adopters, testers and bug reporters are also those that do the work, provided time to catch up with changes. If one pushes more that they can swallow whole idea of testing software falls apart.
Absolutely!
In other words, adjust your speed to ability of "passengers" you want, or you will have no income very soon.
Right.
As it is now: * systemd and relatives are requiring days of full time engagement to learn, which excludes all that can't take that much time. Learning at the slow pace is Sisyphus task, as by the time you learn something, there is more to learn and some to forget.
Yep.
* changes are at the level that backport to older openSUSE releases is not viable, which excludes from testing all that have reasons not to use the latest release. One of reasons is, probably, lack of time to port application settings and data every 8 months.
