[tlug] SuSE - Where to from here?

["Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon" <ronfaxon@example.com>]

There was a short news item I've been meaning to ask about - regarding this:

"Amnon Harman, chief operating officer of Novell's Suse Linux group, 
will leave the company in August, sources familiar with his plans said, 
making him the latest departure from the server software company. Novell 
declined to comment or confirm the change.
    Harman is not the only member of the Suse old guard to depart. 
Juergen Geck, chief technology officer of Linux, is leaving Friday, and 
co-founder Hubert Mantel left in November. Novell is in the midst of 
significant executive changes, including the appointment of Jeffrey 
Jaffe as CTO of the overall company and Ron Hovsepian, chief operating 
officer and heir apparent to Chief Executive Jack Messman."

Incidentally - sorry for the quote - I sent it to a friend asking about 
it and the text from the privately sent e-mail is all I have - otherwise 
I would provide the link and skip most of the quote.  I do aim to not 
put long quotes in here....

Is SuSE going in a fundamentally different direction from before?
