+### OpenSUSE and SUSE differentiation
+
+With the recent change in OHAI to differentiate between SUSE (or SLES - SUSE Enterprise Linux Server) and OpenSUSE we need to update our docs to reflect following (quoting btm):
+
+* Platform SUSE should be changed to OpenSUSE everywhere that it previously meant OpenSUSE but said SUSE.
