I hope you aren't trying to imply a casual relationship by your last
sencence, because there isn't any. We never do anything for the reason
that SuSE does it. In fact, SuSE's feature promiscuity hurts Novell.
It is one of the reasons why they are behind. Here, features stand on
their own merit. If SGI's feature proposals were not accepted, then
it's because something was wrong with them at the time.
