I think we can open feature-requests for zypper.
I requested those issues in the past via the zypp-devel mailing list.
And of course the fact that it is tried and tested, and not "brand new hot in-flux stuff" like zypper, that yet has to stabilize, before I can depend on it for things like server administration.
Some people might dislike this wording.
I don't know what you find problematic about the wording. I am not saying anything bad about zypper. I'm just referring to some facts: yum stabilized a long time ago (I have been using it 5 years ago at least), and I am easily able to use it on SLES installations. I know that it works (and what doesn't work) from years of experience. Zypper is very much in flux, and I guess that development has not fully stabilized. I *assume* it has started to stabilize though, because it has reached a certain level of feature completeness recently (but only very recently). I am looking forward to a zypper that has the features I need, and I will carefully evaluate it and see if it is reliable. Before, I won't switch, obviously.
