My heart says screw the evil crap, but my brain says it's a good idea to keep the division with FOSS CDs (albeit with wlan firmware) on one hand and on the other hand the "mixed source" dvd5 that "just works out of the box". This way we have something for everyone.
Very well expressed. I'd love to stuff various pieces of binary-only software down the bit drain too, but it's not realistically possible. Java, acroread and flash are a must. A big bonus of SUSE has always been the ease of installation - flick in a disk, push buttons, have coffee, done. I can see the purists' point, but I don't like to see the 1-disk-install feature disappear.

I admit that I favor acroread as well. However, I would be hesitant to term it as a must. There are several other pdf file readers available that are all open-source, such as Evince, KPDF, Kghostview, etc. Contrary to what most people assume, pdf is not a standard/file format owned by Adobe. They just did a very good job of making it appear as such. If you're a purist, there are alternative options.
