What I don't understand: Why do you want to support YUM now and wanted to drop 
APT? Everybody I know uses APT instead of YUM, because YUM is very slow, when 
refreshing package lists e.g. Even most Red Hat/ Fedora users are fed up with 
YUM...

Was this just a political decision or a technical one? If you have to 
integrate Zenworks-Server-Support, can't it be done without breaking existing 
things? What about the highly praised Smart and adding Zenworks-Support to 
Smart?

Consider also, that many people switched to apt with 10.0. Is much faster than 
YaST. Do you want them to switch to Zen-whatever? Will Zen-Updateer be as 
fast and easy as APT?

I do not need an answer. But you should have one for the release notes ;-)
