Thank you very much Martin for taking the time out for the verbose explanation.
That does not come very often and I for one sincerely appreciate it.
I fully understood that there was no way that this could be repaired in the
current release and I've been around long enough to have my ducks in a row when
it comes to disaster recovery (well, most of the time anyway...lol).
In all honesty it can almost be construed as disrespect to the openSUSE
community (I being a long time member of that) to let this kind of situation
even occur, when knowing full well that it had existed since beta. We would
rather have the GM delayed a week or so in order that we get a product that is
"whole" instead of one that met schedule but is full of holes where there
should not be any.
Quite frankly, these "little" things add up for us out "here". We haven't had a
"working" 3.5"/1.44MB floppy since 9.3 and 10.3 is by far the worst release
that I have seen (been with you guys since 9.1) for CUPS/YaST/HP/HPLIP
printing. I think that you can understand what happens to our frustration
levels when the R&D team is busy cramming essentially unusable KDE4 features in
the 10.3 release but totally ignore the fundamental things that we have come to
expect and require since the dawn of the PC.
I hope you can now better understand and perhaps see our side a little more
clearly. Remembering too, that "we" do not have anywhere near the knowledge
that you "insiders" have with respect to this OS. And to be perfectly blunt,
the overall documentation for this magnitude of a system is sorely lacking and
that has always been the case. I wish mind reading was free so we could know
what you guys know - but it is not.
Thanks again Martin, you will be one of the few that I will remember!
