I've known Ubuntu and RHEL admins who switched to openSUSE only because of Yast. Myself included. and you really both expect YaST soon to disappear? No, of course not.

Would you install and fully support a few dozen workstations and servers, some with almost a petabyte of RAID-6 storage, with Tumbleweed? Regards, Lew
