it did well for more than 10 years without one, so it may not be that important, or the strategy is simply : "do a good job with nice guys"

Not true. S.u.S.E./SUSE Linux had a clear identity and direction. As a stable, polished, powerful, easy to use, professional distro. Everybody knew what to expect, and they got exactly that, and they loved it. And I'm sure developers knew exactly what direction to move in too. The current muddy and confusing state has only been around for about 4-5 years. Starting somewhere between the Novell takeover and the creation of the openSUSE project. And steadily getting worse as the distro strays further and further from its roots. And the damage is enormous. Effective marketing is downright impossible and development is all over the place. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
