Sure, one way or the other we've all seen this happen already. Overall quality & testing done for 9.2 and 9.3 took similar steps backwards than RH did with 8 and 9. Focus was already moved elsewhere.
The community version will be aimed at Linux enthusiasts, not at the casual user at home who wants a Windows that has the name Linux. In short they have given up the idea of selling Linux as a replacement for users of Windows.
Yep, and due to overall quality drop it's now impossible to recommend SUSE (pro) to people that just want to get the job done. It's a development release as such, bad things can and do happen with it. On the positive side, let's hope that we can work things out via the ( yet undefined ) community effort. SUSE folks, your call. -- // Janne
