O very good. I have used KPackageKit on some other distros, and when it works right its alright. The new interface in Apper is especially appealing. I figured it had to with our implementation since it worked fine in Kubuntu and Fedora14. Still maddening, and the persistence of the problems is surprising.
Yup. And on a personal note, I think working with a cross-distro solution is better than having our own solutions in any case. We share work (on the UI front in this case) and it can provide integration in applications which we don't have to develop and maintain. I'd rather see YaST and esp the One-Click-Install stuff move to PackageKit instead of us writing new tools replacing what PackageKit offers.
