Let me make perfectly clear that openSUSE is not a KDE distribution and
neither a GNOME distribution - it's a distribution for everyone. It was
always a strong KDE distribution and continues to be so. It always
contained both GNOME and KDE - and continues to do so. I'm glad that it
contains now a polished GNOME as well as a polished KDE.
Our last survey showed that more than 20 per cent of our users choose
GNOME. This is not the majority but a strong enough group that I will
not tread them as second class citizien as you suggest - and do not
consider them a "weight to carry".
We want to grow our distribution and therefore have to offer various
desktops to attract users.
It's not about having to have GNOME - it's about wanting to have the
best desktops environments to attract developers and users.
Btw. WindowMaker and XFCE users are far less and developers can create
their own one CD if they want - and make it available.
