I would agree if OpenSuSE didn't install all recommended packages by default (or there weren't so many of them that manual selection in installer is highly impractical). The way it is now, essentially the only difference between Requires and Recommends is that the latter allows you to manually uninstall the package without having to suppress the dependencies.
