Yesterday morning on the openSUSE-announce list, Andreas Jaeger declared openSUSE beta5 the gold master for openSUSE 10.2. In his words "CD production is starting now and I hope to see some shiny green
openSUSE 10.2 boxes on the shelves before Christmas."

True, but there is a reason that most projects have multiple RCs, is there not? It is precisely because it is almost certain that there will be bugs to be fixed. It does make me a bit nervous to have an RC of an x server included in a final release, considering that a problem with the x server could be very...well...visible, so to speak.
Don't get me wrong, I know that it may not cause problems, but there is a higher chance that it will because it is not a final release. I will keep my fingers crossed because, frankly, I want 10.2 to be a good release. I miss having a stable, highly polished, well-integrated KDE implementation and that is precisely what Suse gave me before 10.1.

Oh yes, you caught me. I am obviously here to spread fud about Suse. Never mind that I have, prior to 10.1, sung their praises to just about anyone who would listen, or that I run nothing but free software on my workstations (other than nvidia drivers). Yes, you're correct, I must want to crush Suse.
I just think that releasing with an unfinished x server is not a good idea, especially considering their quality control record recently.
