Perhaps it's useful to think of 3 pillars of user

1 - distributing and stabilising, upstream software, developing
inhouse projects
Agreed.
2 - stabilisation and development towards SLE
(including ISV projects)
SLE and ISV projects don't sound very much like a key focus we ought to
have here in the openSUSE context. I suggest to really focus on openSUSE.
3 - growing Linux market, with a reliable, easy
to manage full
featured Desktop
Agreed, except that we have never limited openSUSE to the desktop, and
I wouldn't want to change that.
But 3 is IMO let down at present, by releasing
prematurely, and long
term benefit decisions with short term costs
I'll claim that a large part of the problem is testing too late focus
on fixing things too late in the cycle.
