I got that there are three interfaces when it began, but one would think the openSUSE one could have a unique configuration to permit the same kind of accessibility and usability RedHat provides to Fedora users.
It is the same database and login for all instances. Changes are cosmetic only.
How would "cosmetic only" preclude non-cosmetic?
What exposure do SLED and SLES users get that RedHat users don't? How do they differ that one needs an annoying recurring timeout and the other needs no timeout at all?
That we share the access engine with services that do need that security. Unless someone provides a separate server and all its maintenance for openSUSE, we are stuck the way it is.
"Stuck", apropos word. Where there's a will there's a way. Likely the backend is past design life anyway, maybe too many eggs in one basket too. More likely there are simply no available resources to design and implement. The golden parachutes I suspect accrued on transfer from Novell/Attachmate to Microfocus likely would have covered several servers for a bunch of decades plus a year's compensation for each developer who gets paid for working on SLES/SLED/openSUSE.
On the other hand, you login to bugzilla and you are already in to other places, like the wiki, the forums, etc etc. One login only for all.
More timeout opportunities. Not a plus in my eyes. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
