Yes, such a history would be nice, and it is also mentioned in FATE 
(110205).

Appart form questions like what information to store, and in which 
format..


..such a history would be a good candidate for a zypp extension. Some 
(someday plugable?) piece of code that is connected to signals emitted 
from future libzypp e.g during commmit or repository management.

I'm currently looking into the Boost signals and slots library to see how 
we can use it to manage those connections. Signals represent callbacks 
with multiple targets. This is something our callback implementation 
lacks.
