OpenSUSE 12.3 Out Now

I'm looking forward very much to dropping this version onto a hdd and giving it a spin.
On another matter though, this is yet another "FOSS project" that has hit the "dead hand" of Oracle. We have Java, OO and now MySQL.....at least as I understand things. I cannot help but ask of Oracle: "Is this deliberate, or is it sheer stupidity, or a complete unwillingness on the part of its CEO to understand how FOSS development operates ?"
Or am I missing something obvious to everyone else ?

Isn't btrfs an Oracle-backed and -managed project?

I'd have to say equal parts of all three.

Yes, you appear to be quite right Gus3, according to this websearch:

One would have to say though, that a rate of 1 out of 4 does show a discouraging trend.

I think the phrase is "damming [sic] with faint praise".

Not slamming openSuse. Tried 12.2 on Carla's recommendation, and liked it very much. So much, that I am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to download 12.3 as soon as the traffic abates somewhat.
