What does: "module not supported by Novell" versus "module supported by Novell" mean anyway? If Novell supports a module is Novell allowed to patch this module without maintainer's approval? Or is a maintainer still allowed to patch a module if its supported by Novell? Etc. The impact of such a message seems not clear to me.
Please clarify: does the "module ext2" belong to Novell or does it belong to "linux"? Do other distros show the same message "module not supported by Novell" or do they put their own distro name in the message. If I were the maintainer of the module I would be offended by this statement.
The version of the packages that are sent within the distribution can be patched by Novell (openSUSE developers) in every way they which to. What they mean by not supported by Novell, is that you shouldn;t go complaining in the openSUSE foruns or at Novell's support about issues with ext2 in the openSUSE distribution, since it is not supported. You might however try other kinds of support elsewhere, but you are at your onw risk (yes, with the free, openSUSE distribution you are anyway, but you understand what I mean).
