You don't know the details, why we switched to newer releases of X.Org and freetype2. And no, we will not discuss all decisions for software updates. Especially when there are legal issues.
So you want to enlist our help in beta testing (and I put considerable time into filing these reports and supplying the follow-up information requested) and then just ignore us when we have problems you don't care to fix? Surely you can see that with an X server behaving as the current one does the system has no usable GUI at all. Am I just supposed to accept that? And I do not see why legal issues are an excuse for not informing your users. This is open source software, and I think we deserve to know what's going on within the organization that is using that software for their own profit-making purposes. We also need to know your reasoning and plans so we can make our own plans. If you're not going to be able to supply what I need, then I'd just as soon cut my losses now and start working with a distribution that can. I'd probably be more understanding if you'd give me something to go on, but from what I'm getting here, it sounds like you don't give a damn whether users and customers get something useful or not. For the record, I've been paying for boxed versions of SuSE Linux for over five years now, including every single version released from 9.0 onward and a few earlier ones. So far, I'd planned to buy the boxed 10.2 release, as well. So I feel I've got a legitimate reason to press this issue.
