Yes, I am.

Yes, both.

No. I wish they would take a look at it, but they seem to ignore it
completely :-(

evolution-brutus and evolution-exchange are certainly similar in purpose
but they are vastly different tech-wise. See e.g. this blog from Terry
Myerson, General Manager for the Exchange Server division at Microsoft:

The short story is that WebDAV is living on borrowed time. It will most
likely go away after E12. Not so with MAPI.

Testing and using evolution-brutus is equally important.

I do intent to package for SUSE too, but I haven't yet got the time to
do it. One of my users have merely used the FC5 RPMs on SUSE and are
saying that it works flawlessly.
