One thing I was trying to figure out is how to keep those bugs against Factory 
valid for longer time.  I want to avoid situation where a bug against Factory 
is closed because nobody is able to reproduce it anymore, or even have no idea 
how to reproduce it.

One suggestion I have is to use libzypp information. Do you know that if you 
do 'zypper dup', libzypp will always store a testcase for this run? (I hope to 
get it to keep more than one in future, but this is a start). Plus we have the 
history now.

Testcase contains a snapshot of the repositories as well as the system 
package-wise. So, it also contains information which packages were used when 
the bug was triggered.

What we miss is an easy way how to dig that data and possibly to recreate the 
situation.
