The zypp team wants to know if it's general consense in the KDE team to depriotize apper and use yast for package management before they merge that.> Apper was only ever intended to be used as an updater applet. Nothing more, and that will continue to be the case.
Notice that "System Settings"->"Software Management" also uses Apper instead of YaST. Not just for updates.
Naturally full-featured Apper is available in the installation, including the upstream Systemsettings KCM. But that doesn't change the fact that the only reason Apper is included in the default install, is because opensuseupdater was dropped, and a new updater applet was needed.
You make it look like if there was something that actually *forced* us to drop kupdateapplet.
I have to go and I didn't test it. But FWIW, you have the old kupdateapplet with ZYpp support (meaning without packagekit) in home:RedDwarf build for openSUSE 12.2.
