I need to read through all this again, maybe a couple times, to see what else is really changing. Package-compatibility is nice, but is the reason for that (vs. common sources) mostly for signed packages from SUSE available for both distros? I presume that's the goal, since otherwise we could just share sources, and in fact maybe we do/will, but sources do not lead to signed packages without private keys signing them once they are built.
One of the other things that it will allow is for Leap system's to be converted to SLE systems and the other way without needing to reinstall all the packages on the system because they now come from a different vendor. This could also potentially provide some interesting opportunities with things like cloud vendors in the future where maybe images are only available for one distro but not the other. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
