Problem is that Novell has focus to enterprises where numbers are
appropriate; solutions that will replace in house personnel that cost much
more, need solutions fast.
Second, I can only guess that Novell think that openSUSE with bounties will
compete with SLED and SLES. There was discussion to make openSUSE
alternative to small business, but no one came with idea how to do that
without jeopardizing income from business flagships.
