I think the problem here is the approach that has been taken to "sell" the decision to the great unwashed (i.e. me and others).
There's been no attempt to explain or persuade at all.
Besides every single post I've made on these threads..
I first heard about this upcoming change at the beginning of the Killing ReiserFS thread. Maybe I should have known earlier but as far as possible I just use openSUSE and following this list is as far as I go in keeping in touch.
If you are interested in openSUSE, you should really read our actual news sources then, such as:
https://plus.google.com/+openSUSE/posts/HQL7L3VMzCV
https://twitter.com/openSUSE/status/907498199644073984

Really? Places I never use and I'll never use. I have a life. I would expect "news.opensuse.org". Many things are announced in the factory mail list. There are also specific and automated announcements lists.

Well, Anton read that. It was he who told us about it. And after reading it, there are doubts that you do not clarify, you have not yet answered the questions.
This is 100% NOT the right place to learn ANYTHING about openSUSE News
This is the right place to ask any question about openSUSE, such as the questions Anton made which you do not answer. It is the users of the support mail list who decide what to ask. The community at large. ...
Don't expect them to be lurking here and replying to you. They shouldn't be, this is a user support list, which therefore contains posts that are 99% irrelevant for them 99% of the time. And that's how it should be.
With that attitude, don't be surprised about the us and them thought (you used the "them" word). They want to be isolated from us, that's clear from what you say... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
