To me it just sounds plain wrong. You might be a home user, but if you create a web site, it is great to have Apache running on your localhost and check things out before publishing. And what about rp-pppoe, the ADSL connection package? Surely, it is not only useful, it is essential if your ISP uses this type of service. On the other hand, xine is missing from the Pro edition - where is the logic in that?
Sorry, but I feel that the decision should be made by the user and not by the SuSE's marketing department. You might get a few voices saying "too many applications", but once you start leaving some out you will get a lot more voices saying "why is this or that missing".

This is where feedback@suse.com comes in handy dandy :). although from what I remember they cannot ship with certain binaries... Matt
