"also changes that are not needed for SLE" - alright. But what about *conflicting* changes?
(Totally naive question. I can't actually think of an example right now, I'm more conceiving that such conflicts could arise)
It is somewhat hard to discuss something like this on general grounds. Having some examples in the back would help. That said, since you are asking explicitly...
If we have a plot for dealing with this, it might serve to lessen perveiced risks and concerns that the community might have about this.
...this is a simple one: If such a case really arises (and I cannot imagine one at this point, but let's assume there may be one) Novell will shoulder the effort and cost on the SLE side. As a corollary, we (Novell) may not activtely engage on the openSUSE side of this coin, so we (openSUSE community) may have to step up. That is very different from blocking such a change, however, and a sign of a vital community in fact. Does that address your questions?
