Not sure I'd agree, because vendor stickiness still gets a lot of things
wrong, especially in the sense that certain zypper actions don't behave
as expected when vendor stickiness is enabled.

Also, that vendor stickiness flag is global, not per-repository and,
hence, while you might want to have everything updated from K:D:F, you
might not want the claws-mail package from Packman.
Priorities might solve that, but they're a bit awkward and, sadly,
rather undocumented.
