because much like the case of GCC, it is the subsequent releases that see the benefit of the new modularity.
Well, users will see immediately benefits of modular X.org X11. For instance developer releases patched driver. User will only need to download only small package. You can save bandwidth and mirroring infrastructure.
As far as I know Ubuntu's and Fedora's devel trees switched to X.org X11R7 already.

I am not that sure what the inventors of the openSUSE project are actually interested in. Was this just one big marketing bloat? Are some people still completely shocked by the Novell press announcements of the last weeks. Seems like the Novell head managed almost all of their employees to fear losing their job. At least I have made the experience that when you want to discuss some issues about the openSUSE project in the last weeks you meet mainly three sorts of people: First there are those that don't know about the issue and are not responsible for any problem. Second there are those that don't answer to messages at all. And finally there are those that tell you that they have already discussed about a solution internally but they cannot tell you about it. --- Huh? Wasn't the project named _open_SUSE? --- Well, ok, they spell the "open" in openSUSE in small letters. Will they drop the small letters again like they once dropped the dots?
What's up SUSE? You can't complain about FUD that claims that Novell wants to cancel the desktop products or things like that if you give external people the impression that there is some horrible thing going on internally nobody is allowed to talk about. And you can't really eliminate that FUD by just denying it. This just leaves a similar impression like this famous German quote: "Niemand hat die Absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten." ("Nobody has the intention to build a wall." --- Walter Ulbricht said this about two months before they started to build the Berlin Wall.)
