And sometimes it can break your system. While i agree that we shouldnt split that much. i still think we should split it in different repositories when needed.
That brings me back to a suggestion I already gave once... but somehow got lost. For the example for games: it would be nice if you could subscribe to games:/action, games:/adventure all by single.. but there should also be the option just to subscribe to games If THIS addition could be given to the BS, it would truly improve the whole system. About the PM-Syndrome: you're absolutely right; that's also why I avoid putting that one (and guru) in my installations. For these few libs I need for MP3, I prefer downloading the required RPMs one by one and install them. I experianced once that by ALSA system got broken by PM. And was quiet a hassle to bring it back (ok: PM fixed it after a while with new RPMs too..)
