Just a proposal for 10.3, as for 10.2 it's too late anyway:

I think the installation source module should not fetch any other data then the source name. It should just put the right info on the right place, like editing /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/yum/yum.d.repos/

When adding a repository, retrieving the metadata is the right thing to do to detect problems. If you start to download metadata when starting a package manager, errors will be quite confusing.

...

Why? With the current solution, each time you launch the installation source module metadata is fetched.

This is wrong and we want to fix this for 10.3. Downloading (resp. refreshing) repository metadata should not be done when starting a software managment application.

Very well said..!
