I am hope that rpms which don't follow SUSE policies are no option. SUSE 
always standed for high quality. I don't expect Novell to change this. Thus 
there MUST be some QA process before (of course afterwards too) any package 
is added at all. Don't just grab random crap and add it. SPECS need to be 
reviewed before they are added, packages need to be tested, it must be 
ensured that even with add-on packages updates to newer SUSE Linux versions 
are possible, it should be ensured that someone is willing to maintain the 
package and updates it if a security issue is found, etc. Otherwise you end 
up like Ubuntu's universe with a big number of packages but not enough 
maintainers, a lot of broken packages, no security support, etc. We don't 
want this, do we?

Cheers,
Andreas
