Sitting here, and watching the very nice systray applet sitting there 
without bothering me with horns and bells, i forget about the 'gnomish 
ui it has.
IMHO, Yast is by far the best package-management-configuration-tool of 
all now.
(in the days of 10 i said otherwise, but it matured, and i love the 
'heavyweight on very light feet' very much now.
Apper has shown the lack of flexibility (not able to show and agree to a 
license-file) in trying to install from a users directory, so i also 
support to use yast for that.
Zypper can do it all, but there are users out there, and most of the 
time, me included, who do not know the right commands (yet). They need a 
reliable manager. Calling the online update module, is, as said IMHO, 
far out the best option.
Let us KDE with yast, and Let Gnome have their stuff, what about that?
Like no kde3 stuff in kde4, no Gnome in KDE. (or at least as less as 
possible to begin with, and controlling the software is not as less as 
possible)

Regards, and apologizes for lost temper in the past,
