I've been silently going ballistic :). It's buggy but throwing it out without fixing the bugs gives no way for a regular user to install updates without becoming root, as Martin points out. We need to fix the bugs as a community, whether they are in Apper, PackageKit, the zypp backend or libzypp itself, instead of just tossing out the most visible part of the broken stack and reverting to the level of functionality SUSE had in 2001.
