Comment 5: > I failed to find out why: > - made "Cleanup when deleting packages" and > "Allow vendor change" not persistent. Basically, Gabi and Michael Andres discussed the flags and said we should not store these two flags. And I was a bit too quick in simply implementing it without asking for the rationale and reviewing it. I think we should elaborate on this explanation from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=948134#c9 and give an example of the damage that we are trying to avoid: "The reason is to prevent unintentional deletion of packages (or installation from a different repository in case of vendor change). The libzypp default of these options is 'false' and the comments in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf warn that "CHANGING THE DEFAULT IS NOT RECOMMENDED" because of the risk of damage the system."
