It amounts to nothing more than wasted effort, when there are more important things to work on.
It's good you pointed that out, because it's certainly not possible for different people to work on different things at the same time, and of course everyone is perfectly skilled to work on the things you consider important.
With the list of problems in 10.3 that are posted to this list, it's quite obvious that there aren't enough developers taking care to make sure that the packages are actually RIGHT in the first place. So the proposal is to take people OFF of getting the software working, so that perfectly good software can be totally overhauled, rather than just adding a few tweaks. That doesn't make ANY sense, unless you're someone who's addicted to "new New NEW!!!!!" all the time. But in the business community especially, that just plain old won't cut it. When the broken stuff is fixed THEN worry about doing a complete rewrite of YaST. YaST isn't broken... all it needs is a little added functionality here and there...but NO CHANGES to what is already working. YaST is CURRENTLY DEBUGGED. What's the point of doing a whole re-write, and then having to debug it again (which if I remember correctly, took about a year)
