Apparently you haven't had to field calls from confused beginner users who are wondering what they did wrong after installing an application.
Beginning users I'm not allowing to call YaST at all. They even don't know that the user with the most power is named root. And believe me, they even don't care about this at all.
100% of the people I assist with migrating to Linux/openSUSE are confused by the current default. Not some.. all.
Well, if they're root on their box, then it's quite eady to change the default. It's possible from the GUI which you call obscure. Well, your point of view.
Experienced users don't have a problem with the current default... and experienced users can use CLI or the YaST tools to change the obscure options to change the behavior.. but in that process, we loose sight of the fact that there is a huge number of users that are not on the mailing lists and forums who rely on their neighborhood "expert" to guide them through the maze.
Is there an article in the wiki maybe? No, I'm not going to check this. My bug list is long and more pressing issues are waiting.
This one issue I see over and over... "why did my software installer disappear?" or... "why do I always have to restart the software installer?"
If that's the case feel free to feed https://features.openSUSE.org/ If non has done this in the past. As I don't care you'll neither get a plus or minus from me. Best is you branch YaST, change the default and start to smack the YaST devs around. I expect they'll love you. :) Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
