Clayton, If you are serious about trying to influence what's default and not, then I suggest you start a new thread in opensuse-project. In that thread, you probably want to include constructive criticism and argue your point in a manner that decision makers and developers a like will read. The insults and bad mouthing that's been going on in this thread will certainly not help your case.
