Yes, I agree completely to your paragraph - but the package manager did not make the deadline and we really wanted to have it in 10.1, so decided to get it in really late (planned for beta3 but that schedule was not met). I do hope that this kind of major functionality change will not happen in future releases again,

Thanks for the explanation Andreas. It is a shame that such an exception had to come so early in the life of openSUSE. Let's hope it all goes well... Dave
