Your example is not true, KDE is very far from unusable in SLES10.
Please give another example, where we claimed that something would be a
supported, equal alternative that then degraded.

Are you saying that ext3 is not stable enough for production? Or which
of our optional, general-purpose file systems are you referring to?
And why should a file system, that you claim fulfills all of your needs,
become less stable if it isn't changed in the future? It will stay the
way it is now, it will get bug fixes for a far longer time than you're
going to keep your current production hardware.

I have *no* idea where you get this notion from. Ubuntu does not even
use the same package format as we do, not to talk about the business
model (long term maintenance, support organisation...).
