sorry to cut off your very intersting post, but this part
seems essential.

let us wait to know what was said on this subject at FOSDEM
by Sonja

A matter of fact often denied here is that Novell folks are
_not_ at the same place as are the other members of the
community.

* they have advantages: to know who is who and where are the
true decision paths, to have the admin rights to create.
They are the right hand of the Dictator :-)
* they have disadvantages: if ever one of them make an error
in his writing or posting, he may be fired :-( (hope this
wont happen!), they must obey they boss... they are
somewhere between the tree and the bark...
* thay have also similar place, when working over week end
and out of usual desk hours (thanks to them)

So they have a place, a great place in the community, an
essential place :-) but they can't say as any of us: is I
don't like this I can leave...
