From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

wow. I had a good opinion of suse up to this point. what a silly request after all these years.
From my own looking into this it looks like more of a suggestion than a request (for now at least), just a "this might be a good idea, we should look into it".
It's a strange suggestion after very recently working closely with openSUSE to ensure Leap can use the same binaries as SLE, though
