It is possible that they have a reason for all this. Maybe they just want to release it for SuSE for debugging so they don't have to worry about compatibility issues with RedHat, Debian, etc. This would also explain the "some distros in Feb, some in May" because it would give them time to debug any crazy interactions. Although most Linux systems are very similar, there are enough differences between distros to cause problems (I've build distros from the ground up, believe me, I know...) Give 'em a break for now, and jump all over them later if they say "SuSE only forever".

I live in North Adams, Massachusetts, and had to do the same thing. Seeing as Hemos is in Massachusetts, maybe that's something he should look into...
