As it is only the US and Canada that does not use ISO standard-size paper, not having a standard would force every user of SUSE to set the paper-size explicitly, whereas using the ISO paper-sizes will be just fine for most people by far.
Good question: within the user population, what fraction uses A4 and what fraction uses US letter?
Given SUSEs European roots, I would venture a guess and say there probably are more SUSE-users in Europe than in North-America and Canada.
You have to set the time zone explicitly, so why not the paper size?
Perhaps because timezone varies a lot more than paper-size? But it's a good question - I'm sure the default paper-size could be set under YAST somewhere. /Per Jessen, Zürich
