"If the vendor is good", the support level will be as good as in older SUSE versions. That's good. If you're running your own kernel under SUSE, you're still stranded. Maybe I'm less positive about this because I almost always have to build my own kernels on important machines (because of suspend-to-ram quirks or because I need a feature only available in newer kernels). Unless the vendors provide the source for their drivers, they are useless for me.
