That would be nice.

For instance, having two repos: one that changes as soon as new packakes 
are available, and another that keeps a photo made on fixed, known dates.

Or by having two or more metadata structures, and the data (the packages) 
remaining there at least three days. This would perhaps need support by 
zypper.

Well, mine is about 1 GiB, but because I force myself to have only one 
desktop (gnome in my case). I could remove OOo, perhaps. But even with 
"only" 1 GiB, I have problems completing factory upgrades. It takes me 
sometimes several retries, during a week, to get it done.
