Why cannot people leave name of programs as they are
Unlike Ubuntu and Fedora, and much like with KDE3 and KDE4, in the case of Grub(2), the openSUSE development team recognized the new/rewritten version "2" amounted to an alpha/beta/v0.x product that users would object to having foisted on them, and so included the possibility for users to choose either or both. That offering option dictates the use of a different name for one or the other. The openSUSE team opted for the different name for the newer. The new offers things many people still do not, and may never need, at a price premium they are unwilling to pay. I'm glad they made the choice they did, offering us the choice we have. I enjoy the relative simplicity of the old version, and continue to use it only even in TW and Leap. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
