I definitely second that.
Saying that we want to do the best for everyone in every situation
(almost, didn't mention embedded systems ;)) is also quite vague in
terms of mission statement, directions or priorities.
I don't have a better proposal atm (Martin's suits me quite well), but
we should think of a _somewhat_ narrowed scope.
SUSE is most probably the best allround distribution around right now,
and it _is_ good at desktop and server. But still, aiming for all goals
is difficult... and vague.
cheers
