apper provides a deskop applet for package updates that automatically notifies you about new changes. YaST will not do this - it forces the user to pull for updates instead of the push that apper - and the gnome-packagekit does. I'm all for removing a broken solution but first we needed a working alternative. What alternative are you proposing? Another solution is helping those that fix apper. Will is doing this and I'm sure he would appreciate help with development, testing or even going through bug reports and sorting them out so that he can concentrate on the real issues, Btw. the only alternative I see would be installing the gnome-packagekit applet on KDE (not tested whether that will work). I'm not sure we want that...
