That's the problem - they are available, but not in 1 central repository.
That's not a problem, its an advantage.
It _is_ a problem. I always end up in having 20 repositories added to my package manager, having lots of updates installed just because I want to have a few programs installed and up to date. And after 9 month of usage, I end up in a reinstallation for $NEXT_RELEASE instead of updating because it's less work for me. All repos in the build service are actively developed and not frozen if a distribution is released. So, for example, I install 'blackbox' from the X11:windowmanagers repository. I that 'blackbox' package would be in openSUSE (directly), then I would not need to update the version just to get security fixes. However, so, I must, and if libxyz is also in that repository, I also get that new version which is probably buggy just because I run "zypper update -t package". While X11:windowmanagers is no problem in practise, others are. And, honestly, I like "zypper in blablub" more than using "osc search" first to find the right repo. No, and I don't want to open a web browser just to install software. If you always run Factory, it does not matter, right. However, that's no option for me. I always use $LATEST_RELEASE (i.e. now a 11.0).
