Correct. And if I may add a few things...
The nature of the beast highly depends on whether it's an "openSLES" (which would be binary compatible with SLES, same as CentOS for RHEL (*)) or an "openSUSE LTS". The latter would *not* be binary compatible to SLES, and have nothing to do with SLES altogether (which is why that option is fine with everyone from a "political" point of view). It is "just" an openSUSE with a longer lifetime.
This is a crucial point, no doubt. I think the binary compatibility of CentOS with RHEL is definitely one of the big advantages for companies. You can even run RHEL-certified software on CentOS without problems.... openSUSE LTS, as pointed out in other parts of this email thread, could be done right now - it's more likely a matter of human resources than anything else.
