With zypper (cli) and opensuse-updater (updater applet) it is within grasp to not have zmd+friends on KDE installations. That would indeed be excellent news.
I, too, would consider this a great idea. I'm never get the ZMD stuff to work properly on my system (don't know if that's a zmd or zypp problem, however). But generally it's better to have a simple, robust, but especially working system for the package management. Nowadays it's seems there is a complex interaction between zmd, rug, libzypp, yast2-package-management and now the opensuse-updater (and all the dependancies - mono and stuff). And the interaction is less than perfect - why e.g. don't installation sources I add with YAST appear in rug, but if I add them with rug they don't appear in YAST? Is this amount of complexity really needed? Just consider smart, which - despite some other shortcomings - shows how simple package management could be handled, without lots of complex programs and demons interacting. Just my 2 cents. I, for whatever it's worth, would welcome the implemantation of such a proposal.
