Either I'm missing a smiley or it's unnecessary sarcasm. Do you really think, that SUSE/Novell kernel devs alone can block a decision when the majority of the rest wants it? I won't deny we do have influence, but I think it's far below what's needed for such a decision. And there are other examples, like stopping to export the LSM (Linux Security Modules) interface.
