Well, I don't care much about names, but to prevent confusion, YaST++/--/pp is not YaST2! YaST++ is project more likely to separate functionality from representation and for easy share. So it is possible ( and expected) that in future there will be together yast++, Yast for representation on desktop and WebYaST for representation on web and other possible users of functionality. If you know better name I welcome it and start using it ( as I said, I don't care much about names, more about functionality and usability ).
