It's not "unprofessional". SuSE does not have to support programs that don't come with the actual paid-for disks. Gnome2 came with no SuSE release (yet). Thus any RPMs they provide for Gnome2 are done as an "additional bonus", not something they have to do. They didn't have to make Gnome2 RPMs for 7.3 or 8.0 either, but they did it 'cuz they're nice people. Ditto for the KDE3 RPMs for 7.3 and previous. KDE3 didn't come with 7.3 or earlier, so they don't have to provide it. That's why the folder is called "supplementary". Those are RPMs they don't have to provide, but do because they want to. Calling them unprofessional just because they don't provide something that they don't have to is just tacky. How's about asking nicely instead of resorting to namecalling. They might be more willing to do something for you that way. For others reading this, a question came to mind: Was there really such a major difference between 7.2 and 7.3 that the 7.3 RPMs for Gnome2 wouldn't work at all on a 7.2 system? My first (and only) SuSE is 7.3, so I dunno what 7.2 was like.
