I, too, would consider this a great idea. I'm never get the ZMD stuff to work 
properly on my system (don't know if that's a zmd or zypp problem, however).

But generally it's better to have a simple, robust, but especially working 
system for the package management. Nowadays it's seems there is a complex 
interaction between zmd, rug, libzypp, yast2-package-management and now the 
opensuse-updater (and all the dependancies - mono and stuff).

And the interaction is less than perfect - why e.g. don't installation sources 
I add with YAST appear in rug, but if I add them with rug they don't appear 
in YAST? Is this amount of complexity really needed? Just consider smart, 
which - despite some other shortcomings - shows how simple package management 
could be handled, without lots of complex programs and demons interacting.

Just my 2 cents. I, for whatever it's worth, would welcome the implemantation 
of such a proposal.
