Just like Yast updates the sources without the popup from old-times. It's just 
like it is not gonna start.

It is in any way a slow way, in the old days it took max 2 minutes and now it 
takes a livetime, can't this be reduced?

I guess also that it can be optimezed later, but as you allready said: 
"average user Joe will be very confused." and that is not a good thing. For 
example: reviewers don't know it about the metapack (and they should not) and 
they will say that it is awful slow and not user-friendly....ooooopppss
