If that happens then people are "doing it wrong" cause the vendor stickiness prevents that. If they disable the vendor stickiness they have no reason to moan cause it is their own fault, not?
Not sure I'd agree, because vendor stickiness still gets a lot of things
wrong, especially in the sense that certain zypper actions don't behave
as expected when vendor stickiness is enabled.
Also, that vendor stickiness flag is global, not per-repository and,
hence, while you might want to have everything updated from K:D:F, you
might not want the claws-mail package from Packman.
Priorities might solve that, but they're a bit awkward and, sadly,
rather undocumented.
