You are talking like there is one uniform naming policy across distros that openSUSE is unilateraly violating. There isn't.
If you're using your favourite search engine you will see within seconds that you don't have to teach me about the differences of various Linux distros. I already deal with that in lots of cases. But I also know the limits and the enormous effort. Especially if you start renaming lots of packages on a platform you break lots existing configuration management. Michael Matz wrote:

Which is a pretty big F*** Y** to all DevOps coders out there. I also wonder what SLES product managers will say about this (if you dare to really explain the details to them). I give up here and will take another route. Goodbye. Ciao, Michael.
