Personally, I think the project is moving too fast when production hardware is being left behind.
Note, this is not something specific to opensuse, but to the whole Linux ecosystem. We are relying on a upstream development project here.
Well, one thing that did strike me earlier - in the current kernels, you can still find support for token ring networking, something that has surely died out years ago (hasn't it?). Or support for the HPTxxxx RAID chipsets, which were popular in the late 1990s. Yet the support remains. What I don't like about what I've seen happening in openSUSE is that something was working just fine, but then suddenly no longer works with release++. When I report it, it's eventually swept under the carpet as being due to old hardware. I call it regression of functionality.
So to single out opensuse is a bit unfair, you are going to have the same problem on gentoo or ubuntu or fedora too.
Certainly - I wasn't trying to single out anything or anyone, I just happen to be using openSUSE, so this is where I turn first. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- ENIDAN Technologies GmbH - managed email-security.
