It is interesting that such things keep being installed quietly, with no notice, no opt-out and by default, with little or no information about them. There's not even a justification for this; it's just done. The least they could do is tell us why they think we want this, sh--erm, stuff.
I think that perhaps the days of trusting Linux based systems and packages like OpenSuSE regarding privacy and security are going away. Safer not to trust them no matter how inconvenient it becomes.

Unfortunately, and as uncomfortable as I feel to state this, I consider this to be a fair statement. Pushing the whole openSUSE development onto "the community" and with nobody but "the community" deciding what goes into the distro, it doesn't take much thinking about to imagine that what you suggest may be quite possible. I am not suggesting that it is happening but simply suggesting that it is possible. Afterall, where did the Stuxnet and the Flame worms come from and, more importantly, why did it take some 5+years to discover them?
