One thing that I thought was to be taken for granted from the beginning, is that openSUSE is supposed to be a general purpose operating system for server, desktop, laptop and netbook.
That is precisely what we didn't do. One main driver for the process we used to come up with proposals is that when you define a strategy, that strategy cannot be "everything and the kitchen sink", which is certainly what we are trying to do right now, because there are no clear objectives/goals (strategy? ;)).
The question at the core of this is whether we believe that with the current contributor base, it is realistic to try to be everything to everyone. Now, I don't want to straw man here, and obviously we cannot _literally_ do everything.
True but right now you're proposing to do something that is of interested also for a (in some cases very) limited audience, I would say more limited than the current community. I can foresee the potential of some of the proposals (for developers), but I would not want an "openSUSE for derivatives", which is not really what this community needs and what, more in general, Linux needs (the why would bring this discussion too far, so we can chat about it, if you want instead than deviating the thread. In summary, we have too many distros already IMHO). Best, A. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
