Agreed that many people use openSUSE on production servers, but it is
not the intended audience and it never was.  From the project website:
 http://en.opensuse.org/Project_Overview

"The openSUSE project gives Linux developers and enthusiasts
everything they need to get started with Linux. "

Thus the choice of packages for openSUSE is driven by developers and
enthusiasts, not the needs of a rock solid production platform.
