IMHO upgrade and update is not two equal things. From my point of view: Upgrade is a new version of software and update is security or some issue fix update of installed software distributed via official SUSE update channel.
Unfortunately there are a couple of people who do not agree with you. Ever came across something called ubuntu? If you want to update a package, you have to perform an "apt-get update", followed by an "apt-get upgrade"
Like in apt-get, in smart and urpmi, updating package availability and upgrading of installed packages or installing some new package(s) are separate processes. This has the advantage conspicuously absent from YaST in that when you want to install or upgrade a package, you aren't required to wait several eternities for package availability updates to preceed the download and installation process each and every time. -- "Either the constitution controls the judges, or the judges rewrite the constitution."
