Beginning with the next alpha release of openSUSE 10.3, alpha 4, ZENworks will be gone, according to Jaeger. Instead, openSUSE “will use the native tools only — Zypper, Opensuse-updater, and YAST.”

While Jaeger didn’t explain why Novell and the openSUSE group had made this decision, the messages on the openSUSE list made it clear that the developers were glad to see ZENworks go. A typical comment came from Ted Bullock, an openSUSE developer, who said, “This is very good news. I have never felt comfortable with the overall reliability and integration of ZENworks in openSUSE. I’m glad to see the last of it.”
