Fundamentally this is preposterous. Even if you have only 40 customers, the size of Brock's and you are non-chalant about supporting it one year and not the next, that's no way to run a project...at all. Bare minimum, you should be supporting tier 1 distros regardless of the download numbers. You're still a growing product for cripes sake. Now is not the time to be pigeon-holing yourself to certain distros.
If I was more saavy, I'd download and build the source but the skills to do so are not mine. I can compile my own VMware kernel because they make it easy to do. I wouldn't know where to begin with Zimbra.
I really hope that Zimbra reconsiders, you certainly aren't making any friends with these moves. Of course it it's just business to you and not community then I guess that doesn't matter either.
PS. I'd suggest removing SuSE from your downloads section NOW before you sucker someone else into installing it.
