That would be a reasonable argument if generic distro installers or kernel packages were likely to support the TN7 and SHIELD. However, given the bootloader situation there and the need for a custom kernel anyway for APPENDED_DTB, I assume that's not the case on this particula= r device? If you do intend to support this device with SuSe installer and kernel packages, could you give an outline of how you do so?
