WTF !?

How could this happen? Everybody is talking about security these days 
and once Novell was proud AppArmor was so much easier to configure in 
contrast to SELinux and now you get fired? Are they crazy? 

The community has done the work and now you get fired, this seems to be 
Novell's philosophy!

Will you continue to contribute to openSUSE? What might be the future of 
AppArmor within openSUSE
