That surprised me too. It's strange to see one of the most well-known Linux names to suggest adding an unreviewed repo that contains known security flaws in official documentation.

Nobody suggests anyone adding a repo. It has already been stated very clearly in the article:

> 5) How to Continue Using Deepin on openSUSE

> Given ..., we don’t recommend to use the Deepin desktop at this time. If you still ... then you can add the Deepin devel project repositories to your system...

I was impressed at this. By sharing side-load instructions and by the the overall restrained language of the post, they're emphasizing that this is not a personal attack on Deepin or an attempt to hurt Deepin and also emphasizing that OpenSUSE leadership understands the value of their community and have no power fantasy aspirations about trying to exert undue control over the users of the distribution. Really, OpenSUSE had more than enough ammunition to make a scathing takedown on the behavior of the Deepin maintainer and all of Deepin upstream, and many other OSS leaders would have done so ("Fuck Nvidia" anyone?), but they did not. They chose restraint and statements encouraging reconciliation. Cheers to the author for keeping it together in this obviously quite disappointing situation.

opensuse continuously impresses me on a community level but for some reason it's one of the only major distros i've never actually tried running. not sure why!
