I will try to clarify the situation with three remarks:
1) There are many teams and individuals in SUSE contributing to the openSUSE project beside the openSUSE Team itself. Let me put it this way (even if it's not 100% precise): the openSUSE Team is called this way because it works "full-time" for openSUSE, while many other teams in the company works "part-time" for the project and part-time for other stuff. SUSE's involvement in openSUSE goes far beyond the openSUSE Team.
2) The size and power of the openSUSE Team will not decrease. Same amount of resources contributing full-time to the project. But it has been decided that those resources will be more useful for the project if they concentrate the following months in improving the development process and the tools. Long term goals that can only be achieved by a dedicated team.
3) As a consequence of (2), the openSUSE Team will not be able to take care of the release process to release a new openSUSE version in July '14 (short term).
I hope I have helped to clarify the picture, which is FAR from Attachmate abandoning openSUSE.
Well, this sounds quite legitimate. It's just the sudden uncertainty which seems to surprise us all. I don't believe that all of openSUSE@SUSE stop working on the release process *right now* (a), eh? I mean, some folks have to take over piece per piece which will take some time (b). Can someone confirm strategy (b), please?
