This is going to retrieve a lot of files most people don't need. Even if you install all packages that are part of these supplement, you'll get source packages and lots of language packs. What's more, you're ignoring all the helpful processing that is performed by using YaST to install and / or upgrade. Also, I believe that RPMs installed outside YaST will appear to YaST to be "locked" and henceforth off-limits to YaST update. I'm not entirely sure about this, but I know that all the RPMs that I've installed manually show up in the YaST Installer and in YOU with a padlock icon ("Protected -- Do Not Modify".
