Why?

YaST:Head is the devel project we submit to, and one needs to submit manually. 
YaST:Svn is being submitted to automatically and thus contains more unstable 
code.
YaST is a little bigger project than ZYPP and I don't think that the ZYPP 
approach can work well (at least not as long as we submit directly to trunk).

Instead it can make sense to build YaST against zypp:Head?
