A CenTOS like version of SLES seems like something that would be good for the community and spur some competition.

Perhaps a serving oriented fork of OpenSUSE would be interesting too.

The fact that zypper can now upgrade a distribution makes maintaining a server with OpenSuSE a lot easier. If you can flawlessly upgrade a distribution with just one reboot (necessary for any kernel update), you probably don't want to stick to an old distribution that long.
