    This is why sysadmins shouldn't simply be replaced by mindless patch monkeys
    (well let's not drag Microsoft into this).

    When a new release comes out, you experiment with it, test, and wait until the
    bugs have been ironed out before rolling it out in an organization.  You
    don't just buy it, find a few problems, and switch to another distro!

    Unless you come to believe that SuSE has really dropped the ball on QA and
    can't recover, at least give them a chance to fix things.  Two weeks isn't
    enough time if they're trying to get it right.

    I remember when I was on RedHat - when they made major changes (which to their
    credit, they did on x.0 numbers - unlike 9.1!) you knew they wouldn't get it
    right for many months until the x.1 release!
