I thought there had to be made a decision for openSUSE's choice now...
I did not think what others did or do would matter here..
But on the other hand my dreads of the Roman church and their 'holy 
inquisition' may blur my vision a bit..
Practical, i think they are not very useful either...
It is not the use only, it is the prominent place these numerals take 
inside: openSUSE MMXI.II
Well, in any case, i would less like it..
