Actually the libzypp backend wasn't really rewritten. Coolo adjusted the old backend to work with the new API. However what I understood from Duncan and Michael is that the target is still to really do a rewrite of the zypp backend around the new API and to introduce the parallelism. When asked for a timeline, they came back with maybe 13.1. But I am not sure if this is really going to happen.
Oh, if you look at the diff of the zypp backend, it *was* rewritten. libzypp is not thread safe and most likely won't be in the mid term future, but what we're considering is replacing the one big mutex with smaller ones, so it might be possible to make download requests and install requests in parallel. But solving and refresh cache won't work in parallel. But 90% of the work necessary for that is now in libzypp and not in the PK backend, the backend is doing roughly what it can do with the current zypp, so there is no "rewrite zypp backend" TODO atm.
