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 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.
