independent of the topic (I had no time to read the blog
yet), SUSE Linux Enterprise has project- and test-plans
which go beyond SUSE and not only involve this beta
community, but also technology partners for example.

Adding more time for betas and release candidates (as we
announced some weeks ago) is possible or "in scope",
adding a completly new init-stack would not, as it would
invalidate a lot of testing.

Hope this explains.

so long -
