Given the ease of something like klik:// and kio slaves, how hard
would yast:// be implement. It's not like you can accidentally have
someone messing up your system, since they would need su access to add
it as a source.
Of course it's the usual effort v use, since you don't really add
sources all that often, but I always thought the apt:// kio slave in
Debian was under utilized since it could theoretically be integrated
into help files and instructions.
