Perhaps these things should not happen if all repos have the same priority; but they still can: Yust imagine an update for program X is released sooner for OpenSuse11.0 than for OpenSuse11.1 (normally that should not happen, but in practice if something can go wrong it will go wrong). Then program X will be replaced for the OpenSuse11.0 version instead of waiting for the same update as an Opensuse11.1 version. This is not what we actually want.
No, because the 11.0 package has a lower version-release than the 11.1 package.
I would suggest user added repos to have a lower priority i.e. a higher number (how confusing) because these sources are generally less trustworthy (Packman, SW self compiled by Opensuse-users , 3rd party SW).
But all opensuse repos and the opensuse update repos have same priority? Good, that's one point we're agreeing on.
This is also a security issue; and Opensuse has some kind of pent-up demand for more security (http://en.opensuse.org/Security). Besides this security may still be a reason to switch from Windows to Linux. We should not destroy our security concept by a slackness like this.
You're not getting all the bug reports like "zypper dup is downgrading all my packman packages to opensuse"...
