    Hopefully this group of owners can shed the Opensuse board entirely

    Well, openSUSE board is *elected*, so you can vote who wins. Except maybe Richard Brown but then you can't win it all?

    As for the new owners, they are investors, not managers that will come in and take over. They want to make money, not micromanage. Owners will not be making changes.
