Wednesday's security updates

Could LWN perhaps distinguish between community distros (e.g. [open]SUSE) and enterprise fluff (SLES/SLED), it's kinda confusing when there is yet again a kernel update for "SUSE" (which generally implied, and continues to do so, openSUSE).

The same of course goes for enterprise products from other companies, but I think Fedora/RHEL/CentOS is already listed in distinguished form.
