The policy you're talking about is about the stable openSUSE. Using
factory, I have a more than one-year old yelp, for example.

This was a specific choice, yelp in 2.20 broke so much interoperability
with non-gnome help URI's we didn't ship it.

seahorse/gnome-keyring integration: in Ubuntu, when I ssh somewhere, a
dialog pops up. In openSUSE, I need to use the standard ssh-agent, it
seems.

I agree on this one too :)

This might just be a package selection issue.

in the middle of the afternoon, I see beagle-build-index and the man db
rebuild happening. Lots of hard disk use. Middle of the afternoon is
when I use my computer. It should be done during the night if possible.

Hmm. This looks like a cron-job issue. It's usually done around late
evening here.

My original suggestion (during the night) is of course a bit stupid for
people working during the night. It should only happen when nothing else
is happening, or when the screensaver is active.

The cron job issue is unfortunately related to how our cron works -
daily cron jobs run 15 minutes after install by default. Drove people
nuts with the locate database builds too.
