It might make sense, yes.

I would have loved to know about Novell's version before I rewrote
the entire patch that was sitting in bugzilla for quite some time to
make it sane. This was a significant work. I learnt about Novell's
version too late and I wouldn't say it was a nice surprise for me.

May I request that such changes made for a distribution are at least
made known to upstream?

(and this is not just about Novell, really)

Thanks,

Vincent
