Third, (mostly) because of the rpmdrake user interface (NOT the

It is most unfair to keep harping on this one. You were told openly
that the decision to keep the separate interfaces was because the
combined one was a nightmare to support. Do you really want
something that is superficially what you want, but underneath a
hopeless mess? I think not.
Well I'm speaking totally as a non-programmer. ;) Keep the seperate components, have a simple gui front end that allows them all to be controlled as before. I really can't believe that it is a nightmare.. isn't the gui just a front end for urpmi? How can it be a nightmare? I know... drop it already... I just thought this must be a hot button for you. I didn't want the list to think just one person didn't like the new setup. :) take care and I read your many posts with interest. Don't be mad at me.
Lorne, I don't think that opening Mandrake Control Center > Software Management and navigating between the management components varies by more than a click or two from the functionality of the former rpmdrake, does it? I saw many complaints based on a lack of understanding that they were available all at once, as opposed to using the separate entries in the menu.
