This could also happen without the help of SUSE/Novell; doesn't work in all situations, but valid alternative for most of the cases. That's like a homework ;) In the same time I think there is _noone_ having old SUSE releases and ha- ving no idea on the outdated nature of these systems! As extra addon, please consider people still using win95/98 or even newer systems with no updates as all, because sitting on dial-up or being lazy; kiddies will find THEM, and likely not the old Linux-es...
