I think what Pascal meant is of all the strengths and weaknesses of SuSE Linux, its relatively small user community is a significant weakness. I don't know numbers, but surely they do not reflect the true relative quality of the various distributions. Fedora has far more cache / traction than SuSE, yet from what I hear it is distinctly inferior to SuSE. You may or may not know that Pascal spends considerable time making available the latest and greatest in RPMs for versions of SuSE back to 9.1. He is without any doubt committed to the success of SuSE and he puts his time into it. He's the person behind Guru's RPM Site: <http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/>. Pascal is certainly not slamming the user community his own actions serve so well.
