Microsoft/Novell deal: something happened on a Chinese Linux forum

I write this in English so that all people around the world could get a chance to know what's going on in one of the biggest Chinese Linux forum linuxsir.org.
On SUSE Linux sub-forum of linuxsir.org, there were some threads talking about MS and Novell's deal recently. But unfortunately, someone with high privilege in the forum combined these threads and moved them to a place that few people visit. So people won't see it in its original place. Moreover, people can't found it through the link provided in the reply-notification email linuxsir.org mailed to them. The pictures below illustrate this:
Unless you are familiar with the operation of vBulletin or use search function of the forum you won't see it again. So the discussion discontinued, or rather _stopped_ by external and yet irresistible force.
Then someone expressed angriness about this in SUSE sub-forum, and more people followed him. The discussion went on. However, this thread again is "combined" now.
Apparently they are fearing about something.
I am so disappointed.

portage-2.2 preserve-libs FEATURES explained

Maybe I am not the right person to write about it. But I felt the necessity to write about it. So I will just write something about preserve-libs, leaving other FEATURES to more competent people. Portage-2.2 has already entered unstable tree. Many people has started using it. It has many new features, like preserve-libs, sets, license filter and so on. Please check README and RELEASE-NOTES for a complete list. I will only talk about preserve-libs. To understand why we need it, we have to know some background information. First of all, applications are not built from scratch. Any non trivial apps use lot of libraries. In GNU/Linux, most of them are shared libraries, i.e. .so files. You can use `ldd /usr/bin/mplayer` to check what shared libraries an app has been linked to, replace mplayer to whatever program you'd like to check. Shared libraries have versions. E.g. /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51, here 51 denotes its version. After upgrading, the version number may change. E.g. /usr/lib/
