- openSUSE removes Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) due to packaging policy violations.
- A 'license agreement' in deepin-feature-enable package bypassed security reviews.
- Deepin components like deepin-daemon and file manager skipped formal security checks.
- The bypass was unintentional but violated openSUSE policies, posing security risks.
- Historical issues between openSUSE and Deepin include poor communication and unresolved vulnerabilities.
- openSUSE will remove DDE from Tumbleweed and Leap 16.0; Leap 15.6 loses only deepin-feature-enable.
- Users can manually add Deepin repos but are warned of security risks.
