The package itself is supported. It's direct use by a sysadmin is not. On
SLES10, zypper was intended only to be used by other parts of the update
system. That's why there's little to no documentation on how to use it. (We
won't talk about just how much(?) documentation there is on how to use rug.)
Think in terms of IBM's undocumented opcodes, control blocks, etc.
Ouch...I wonder how many other packages we're using that we're not
supposed to be. Is there a list of these "grey" packages?
