The reason why I don't like this question is mostly because openSUSE should already have an idea about where they stand. To me, this question makes openSUSE stay on the past.
which would be perfect if a focus on the past returns the project to a system with a level of stability, dependability and predictability not seen since the 9 series.. well, it seems we can all depend on and predict kernel and other updates to require hours of after-update-head-scratching and fiddling to return to service..
To discuss what has transpired overtime is something that is personal understanding of each member of openSUSE. But once you think of those who "might" be using openSUSE, you stop the self criticism and move forward to a target that does not center on itself.
imho, to be viable we must assume every potential 'target' expects stable, dependable, reliable, secure and predictable....and, without those any cube spinning magic is just so much useless fluff which i freely admit is well designed to attract the kids (BUT, they also just expect it to do the job of spinning the cube *AND* storing music/film/etc files safely/predictably and dependably connecting to social sites, etc etc etc) give up a foundation of dependability/etc in order to point hackers talents at adding frills at *great* danger to the project..
