Bug 223513 filed. What does: "module not supported by Novell" versus "module supported by Novell" mean anyway? If Novell supports a module is Novell allowed to patch this module without maintainer's approval? Or is a maintainer still allowed to patch a module if its supported by Novell? Etc. The impact of such a message seems not clear to me.
