I would like to reiterate that we should be slowing down and making things work so that our releases are immediately usable in all categories. embrace, extend, extinguish ... yes, open source (free software, as in freedom not free beer) means that others may enhance and grow using their efforts based on your efforts... and you are "free" to do the same thing... use it to your advantage.

uninspired teams produce more "good enough". That leaves only two weapons in our arsenal , the incredible brilliance of the opensuse team and patience. Actually, you have one more... a huge dedicated user base and an inspired community of loyal enthusiasts... unless you, uh, screw up with M$. So, keep it clean, do it right, and may the best distro come out on top!
Our seasoned team has and should produce the most immediately usable distribution on the planet. Yessssss.

of how to accomplish i.e rpm -U -v -h , overlook fixing bugs that effect us gui bound "n00bs" i.e. ZMD. One of the responsibilities of an education department is to help folks realize that being a gui bound n00b is limiting. The biggest disservice that M$ foisted upon the entire world was the notion that CLI was bad, and gui the end-all. Anyway, you're right. If the gui is broke I'm on the cli before you can say bugzilla... and I keep right on cruising.
Please reconsider our pace, repackage 10.2, make a few additions and call it 10.2.1 and work patiently to release 10.3 as next years absolute master piece this team is capable of. Yes, yes, yesssssss (and don't listen to the n00b behind the curtain whining about how hard its going to be and how he doesn't like it... just do it-- do it right-- don't back down--- don't quit---- and please do not shove it out the door too soon). ~please?
