I agree - and if this is not the case, it's worth a bugreport.
single rpm packages depends on patterns (not sure if this exist in openSUSE) they should depend on rpm packages.
There's no such case.
And also thinks that a pattern should not depend on rpm packages that other rpm packages included in the pattern also depends on, as there is no need for that. This is not a problem technical speaking it's just harder to maintain and confusing to people.
I'm not sure I understand you here. Could you rephrase this, please?
I hope we can agree on this things so we know how to move on.
