Master-pdf-editor and zoom also use /opt
It was a rhetoric. You really did not have to name the bad example that zoom is :D
Yeah, it's terrible crap (e.g. recently discussed problem with ibus), but unfortunately plenty of people must use it, willing or not... :-/
It's unfortunately a very popular piece of software so not supporting it would just harm openSUSE's userbase.
It's not like openSUSE does anything to specifically support or impede placement and use of /opt. If vendors don't care about FHS, they don't get to enjoy the snapshot-restore benefits. Simple as that.
IMHO nobody complains that /opt would be excluded from snapshots, backups or so, but as /opt simply is often used by 3rd party SW (I listed some examples from my notebook in [1], I wonder where Lexmark drivers in my work desktop are), openSUSE can't IMHO break installation of SW into /opt. Well, I'm unable to foresee all the consequences of lnussel's proposal (which seems otherwise great to me). Might be there is no problem at all. I just wished to point out that breakage of installation into /opt would be bad for many users.
