Why? If you replace static file (that was provided by openSUSE-release) with generator, it is logical to require generator.
I find the very idea of replacing /etc/issue unconditionally by a generator wrong. What would make much more sense to me would be a simple static issue file which could be overriden (or appended to) by an _optional_ generator. Forcing a generator on everyone is wrong.
If you have a better idea how to implement this, feel free to speak up. But in the end, the generator is just doing this if you disable the additional parts: take a static file and put it to /etc/issue.
I don't want to imagine what it's going to look like on systems of our customers if this thing ever hits SLES (let's hope it won't).
Bad luck for you, it is already part of some of our enterprise products and something similar is part of enterprise products of competitors since a longer time, too. But exactly this is why it is now also part of openSUSE: to learn and that everybody can bring in his improvements. And I'm pretty sure that there are areas of improvement, since e.q. not everybody follows the automatic generated network device names of SLE. So, instead of complaining, please switch to productive mode and come with real improvements.
