I agree entirely. I have SUSE boxes from 6.3 on, and I have NEVER looked at the source-code disc. To my mind, that was in fact one of the main reasons for using a "finished" distro like SUSE - you don't *have* to go to the source. And nowadays, if you do, isn't it just as easy to download it, especially since in the meantime you may have upgraded rpms, and the disc source won't be relevant anyway?
The last time I needed source, was when I built my Slackware (7?) based firewall. There were a couple of things that had to be changed in the kernel. Beyond that, I've never needed the sources. May the source be with you. ;-)
