I think we are getting off the topic. I see this is turning into a distro war.
Its on topic... Suse... and its not a distro war... its a heads up to anyone (probably no one) listening at Novell that in the future the UPDATER better not get fouled up... simply stated.
Yeah, I agree it isn't a distro war. I think some people are simply venting. I've yet to see a "my-distro-is-better-than-yours" post. Sure there's a few comparisons, but nothing blatent.
Distro forks are easy. New distros are even easier. Ubuntu is waiting in the wings and will take off and fly (is already) if Suse gets messed up again. Its just a matter of time before Ubuntu has a pretty graphical installer and starts to give value add to the distrobution. Should Novell care, they might want to stay ahead of the game... capitalize on their strengths, and not foul the props in the future. It only takes one major slip to tip the scales.
That said, I must admit that probably no one at Novell is listening...
