I can understand we install both packages, and be able to use them same as before, logically speaking.
But from our experiences, it is not enough for enterprise use from the view of quality. Someone should integrate plural packages and test it intensively. 
It is efficient if all of community member can test one integrated package, like PostgreSQL project.

Do you mean you could accept any modification even if some troubles are found in another distribution other than openSUSE?
