You say its time for openSUSE to not be a fetus and be born. I say its time for us to move into adolescence. We were already born a few years ago.
If Novell pulls the power plug, your project infrastructure immediately collapses. The "community" is not strong enough to step in and turn the power back on. As long as that's true, you're still a fetus.
To attract other corporate players, opensuse needs a life, independent from Novell.
It's not like openSUSE is the only community project heavyly dependent on a big sponsor... But whatever happens to Novell, the SUSE branch afaik is profitable and openSUSE certainly is part of that success, so it's highly unlikely that all sponsorship will be lost in a day like a pulled power plug.
