Do you think this division of openSUSE projects by the criterion whether the maintainer is paid full-time by SUSE is beneficial? Are the Xfce and LXDE maintainers also paid full-time?
I think what he means is that there is a "guarantee" of x people taking care of product y by openSUSE simply because that job position exists. And paying him money openSUSE can demand that he does his job. So if maintainer z quits, he will be replaced and product y is still maintained. If you one day don't feel like maintaining the KDE3 repo anymore there is a lot less of such a "guarantee", i.e. somebody taking over. Nobody might notice in case you just drop off the project and don't tell anyone. This cannot happen with employees.
