OpenSUSE sacks SaX2

Novell has announced that its much-loved "SaX2" tool for the configuration
of the X Window System will be retired as of the openSUSE 11.2 release.
"Novell has decided to no longer invest in development maintenance of
SaX2 but instead rely on the new automatic and dynamic configuration
features and invest in desktop applets to perform dynamic changes.
"
Some members of the openSUSE community are rather vocally unhappy with this
decision. Novell seems determined to follow this course (similar to what
other distributors are doing), but points out: SaX2 is free software and
others are welcome to keep it going.
