Currently openSUSE relies on grub2-install to add EFI boot menu entry. grub2-install always creates fixed-name menu entry (removing previous one if it existed). It means that in case of multiple openSUSE installations on the same UEFI system the last one wins and "takes over" single EFI "opensuse" menu. Moreover, by default grub2-install will delete *ALL* entries that contain word "opensuse"! I think some more flexible framework is needed. There will be more and more UEFI systems and users do perform multiple openSUSE installations routinely.
