Just a proposal for 10.3, as for 10.2 it's too late anyway:
I think the installation source module should not fetch any other data then the source name. It should just put the right info on the right place, like editing /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/yum/yum.d.repos/
Why? With the current solution, each time you launch the installation source module metadata is fetched. Most of us probably never need this metadata to add a new source. I even doubt, that the module itsef needs this data.
if the source is marked as not changing source, this happens only once.
If you start the Package Manager after the installation source module, the same data is fetched again. So Suse does 2x the work, which would be needed actually to perform an installation from a new source.
