I think this is something we need input from users. 

The issue is that your approach will make sure users will get smoothies user 
experience, but not possibly not all packages updated, while all other tools 
provide the more rough functionality, that gives users direct feedback that 
this particular package cannot be updated and why (dependency conflict).

For openSUSE, it might be quite possible that the way other tools work is the 
one our users expect.
