I completely agree,

But I don't think mixing kcontrol with YaST is the way to go. You can't
say YaST is a monster and suggest to make it even more confusing.

YaST is right now complex because a desktop user does not care about
having the cluster setup together  (or at the same level of importance /
visibility) with setting up a printer or adding a software repository,
and that is what we have to fix.
