The Question about why an new Platform, i don't answer. If you have talked with Rupert, then you know the answer. And no more discussion of this point is needed.
Since that is what everyone is wondering I would be delighted if you would answer precisely that question.
Rupert and open-SLX is quite absent, usually, but if you catch them the answer usually is that they had disagreements with others while trying to change things and they decided things would go smoother on their own. I was not involved in any of those earlier discussions but it is obviously possible that there were too many nay-sayers and too few who actually did something. It is not unprecedented in FOSS nor openSUSE. It is however sad that lately all willingness to cooperate or even talk seems to have disappeared.
