From 1d25599e23c4aecb6ffef95b8c02b8b16034462d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Philippe Evrard Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 10:04:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Amend reference/PTI to add openSUSE When the Ubuntu and CentOS were added in the PTI as "supported distros", SUSE was already one of the most-popular distros [1], and therefore deserves listing here. I don't believe the PTI should refer to "popular" term for distros, as this isn't a popularity contest. Instead, we should allow any distribution where community effort is provided. In this case, openSUSE images are present in infra, and SUSE contributors are using devstack on openSUSE. Next to that, deployment projects like openstack-ansible or openstack-helm are making use of openSUSE. Last, but not least, some projects already take into account openSUSE in their regular work (for example, when the nova team contacts the distributions at the beginning of the cycle to know their latest supported libvirt [2]). I believe all these arguments are enough to warrant the addition of openSUSE in the list of distributions. [1]: SUSE was ranked 4th in that survey (with SLES), after RHEL (3rd).
