YaST2 sw_single and Zen-Installer are equally supported. (Well, if you
ask me, shipping two tools that do basically the same thing in
fundamentally different ways isn't the smartest thing to do in the first
place, but that's just a personal opinion.)
And soon we will even have a 3'rd tool to do this if I haven't
misunderstood opensuse-installer. Is this the way of the future or
will these 3 tools merge and perhaps only have 3 different gui
(ncurses, qt and gtk)? And is there a roadmap for this, meaning will
this happen in 1 release or 10 releases of openSUSE? (I agree with
your personal view in this matter.)

This is not so simple to decide. Zen-Installer supports the zmd
permissions system so that people can use it without the root password
on configured systems. This is a plus of Zen-Installer.
Will yast2 sw_single handle this too in the future? In connections
with the question above.

No. Not all involved people are subscribed to this list, and don't
forget that it's Sunday and the request to change this was made on a
Saturday.
Yes I know. This comment from from me was to show that I think this is
something I want to hear comments about. Both people that like me
thinks that is should change and from people thinking it won't change.
So I threw this out just to get comments. Not morally right perhaps
but it worked. :-)
What is the best place to discuss things like this? As I'm new to
openSUSE. Been in the Debian Camp for 6 years. But now I have moved
here.
Warm Regards,
