Agreed, i'll do it.

But it made me think abou the patch lists we show. Currently 'zypper
patches' shows all versions (resolvables):

$ zypper patches
<cut>
openSUSE 11.1 Updates │ xpdf │ 579     │ recommended │ Not Applicable
openSUSE 11.1 Updates │ xpdf │ 793     │ security    │ Not Applicable
<cut>

Shouldn't we show only the latest, esp. if the policy dictates (is it
documented somewhere?) that newer patches obsolete the older ones?

And i guess for 'zypper list-patches' it's only natural that only the
latest version should be shown as well then.
