The downside is, that sometimes I have to manually check for "orphaned" packages and sometimes I have to find out why the update is not willing to update anything even though lots of new packages are available (usually because something requiring a downgrade or vendor change is blocking the update).
I checked manually as well for some time, but forgot it too often. My current solution automated it: "zypper -qn update -D" outputs the packages that doesn't get updated for some reasons, mostly vendor-stickyness. My daily check for updates ends with a check that this list hasn't changed. (Quickly implemented by a short 35-line Perl script. ;-) If it has changed, but only then, my manual interaction starts: I have to check if either some duplicate package appeared in a repo that I use, then the reference list of not-to-be-updated packages is updated. Or if it's a package that I really want and where the update needs a downgrade or such, then I can force its installation by hand.
