Interesting. I've been paying attention for a long time and have not
noticed any politics within the Open Source community.

Could it be that openSUSE cannot garner enough passion to keep going? I

Could it be time for openSUSE to die off?
We experienced CentOS pass away.
I've been following Linux since about 1998. It seems somethings would
come and some would go within that time period.
