Given that the decision to open up the SLE sources didn't come overnight and people iniside SUSE probably knew about it for quite some time and apparently already made up their mind makes the title and content of Richard's presentation dishonest at best. There never would be an open-ended evaluation, a weighing of pros and cons with the involvement of all stakeholders of openSUSE, rather the future is already decided and those who disagree can fork their own distro. If you're wondering where the
6 weeks after the presentation you're complaining there was no discussion? You must have missed the mailing lists in great.
Just because most don't care as much as you you do doesn't make the discussions less open.
Maybe the amount of contributors to openSUSE Evergreen is also a quite good indicator. Many of us like to have an openSUSE version covered with five or even better ten years of updates. But who is willing to maintain the software == to backport fixes? Here I'd like to thank Wolfgang and Stefan for driving Evergreen this well! Many thanks for the reminders when a Samba update was missing. Or with less diplomatic words: from some posting quite frequently and complaining loudest I expect we'll have seen minimal up to zero contributions to drive openSUSE forward.
