While I agree that this should be the goal, I personally think that we get 
more users when we can guarantee that there will be maintainence backed by 
paid people for a certain time.

Even when we manage that novell employees maybe only maintain a minority of 
packages, it might be a trust point for some user to hear that novell stands 
behind the distro and give some kind of guarantees.

what do you think ?
