Yes, and IMO there is no way in changing it. There comes one case to my mind
which requires the ability to operate on multiple targets (not
simulatenously) - the installation to a directory.

Yes.

When initializing the ZYPP or before we need the first one? I don't think we
want to supoprt scenario when one configuration value changes in time. OTOH,
the possibility to move the download cache needs to be kept (installing huge
packages from HTTP/FTP during 1st stage instalaltoin).

Don't understand this question.
