Well, apparently not. It's not impossible, as you say, but it's not the
intended purpose. It will not work fully, you will for example not get
the correct YaST Online Update source unless you manually edit the
product database file in /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB as I'm sure you're aware,
since you've done it so many times.

And in some cases it will fail miserably. Not too many years ago, the
YaST script syntax changed, and this caused any attempt to use System
Update to upgrade to the next version to fail as soon as the new version
of YaST got installed (it only read the new syntax, didn't understand
the old, and everything went to pieces)
