I didn't pick up on SuSE, et. al. abandoning their respective distros.
This appears to be directly targeted at the commercial market, with a view
towards providing not only a cross-vendor Linux distribution, but also
cooperatively tested hardware certified Linux platforms for businesses.

I read the SuSE press release, and it didn't say anything about abandoning
the home user, or no longer offering their own distribution.
