I'm all for it, then the implementation of the libzypp API will use what
sat solver provides, that's great. If there will be something missing in
the sat solver to implement the needed API in libzypp, we can add what's
needed to sat solver. The most imporant thing is, that the UIs have it
and don't need to code it themselves.
