The problem here is that the two business units (the one that does SLES
and the one that does ZMD) are not well connected and our interlock
commitments did not work out.

Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@novell.com> is the product management on
the OPS (SLES) side contact that drives that the two productlines work
better together in the future.

Ciao, Marcus
