I can see the force of the points you and Anders are making. However, I think
part of the problem is that YOU is not itself a very impressive setup - I
have had far more problems with it than with apt, and in fact if you go over
the list you will find many threads relating to "unexpected features" with
it.
I would, in line with your comments, advocate a "warning" somewhere on the apt
site, to the effect that this software is not supported by SuSE, may do
unexpected (by you the user) things to your setup, and should not be used
until at least 6 months after you have installed Linux for the first time.
As regards Mark's reaction, it takes a certain firmness of purpose to delete
your OS without trying to retrieve the situation :-)
