Yes, I reported a bug. It won't be fixed. Period. It is not just 
single report that is closed as wontfix/worksforme for a reason of 
not enough hardware for developers.

So in theory, you are right, everything reported is fixed, but in 
practice it is not like that.

Because user selected (or not) this downgraded package to upgrade. 

And it does have anything to do with fixed bugs in those packages. 
Installer could list found packages that were downgraded, to ensure 
user is willing to upgrade.

It is quite simply (procedure), really. List of packages (when the 
version is released) is well known, the current (installed) version 
is also know. Since yast can compare versions... this is it.
The only difference would be to include full set of such lists for 
already released versions of open/suse. Now, it is a bit of work, I 
admit, but after that it is one more version per release.

have a nice day
bye
