Hello. I created a post in OpenSUSE forum(https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536329-OpenSUSE-forgot-Xen-Virtua...) and I want to know why SUSE preferred a type-2 hypervisor (KVM) over a type-1 hypervisor (Xen).

Both are provided in openSUSE in the same way, as for SUSE, SUSE has product managers who decide whether or not they will or how they will support / include something based off business cases, it costs SUSE a lot of money to provide L3 support for a lot of software so product managers get to look at how much it will cost to support something vs whether its important enough that customers will pay for that product. I haven't personally looked at how that works for xen but if you are interested in enterprise support for xen you can talk to one of the SUSE sales team. From an openSUSE perspective, if someone is doing the work it will almost certainly be included, as for your question on what makes it onto the DVD vs what doesn't we have over 20GB of packages which obviously don't fit on a 4.7Gb DVD, so generally the size of the package and its popularity are taken into account from the DVD you can use the "add repo's option" and have everything available or alternatively you can use the net installer which also has everything.
