In short, no. Novell is doing a full re-org, and refocusing their strategies towards things they think are more important, and linux is one of the biggest places they are refocusing towards. OpenSuSE, however, isn't official Novell, and as such will not be directly affected by the goings on at Novell.
Other things for note, the default desktop for SLES has been changed to gnome for a futrure version, however development will continue on on both platforms according to the article from Computer World about Novell's strategy shift.

Can u please provide me the article? U mean KDE won't be the default desktop?
That's right, SuSE's Enterprise Server versions will use Gnome as the default(this does not affect OpenSuse, just the Enterprise Servers, and being as I read the article in yesterday's Computer World(well it came to the office yesterday) you could find info on google as easily as I. Check a few down in this forum though, there are 2 articles in a this thread . Though some of the posters are overreacting, and some of the source information is possible different. Otherwise, check around the web, there is news about it all over the place.
