SUSE doesn't have that many custom patches for NetworkManager, they
pretty much ship a stock version.  So the base functionality isn't the
same.  What they have chosen to do is just flip the switch, turn it on
by default, and people then live with it or turn it off.

They just flipped the switch, and seem to be doing fine so far. [1]
