Reminds me of the unix-way-of-doing things:
we first need a fast, damn-good working command line tool. Then we can start
about discussing and implementing GUIs for this command line.
ZDM should run on rug, not vice-versa, as an additional feature.
I also think, that removing the package manager from YaST is a good idea.
yast and yast2 makes a lot of work. With a good commandline tool, there is no
need for yast-pm in console mode. It's too much work.
Let's make (rug) the best commandline tool, and then give rug two
frontend-families:
zen-installer for newbies, (please one tool, not intstaller and remover) and
zen-updater
a new qt/gtk-frontend with full installation source management, selections etc
I also like the new user management, so you do not need the root password for
package installation.

Why? What is the reason behind this?

Do you like the user interface of rug, so would rug as *interface*
work for you? Or is that broken?
