Quote from the announcement:

- numerous improvements to our package manager stack, including a new update notification applet (opensuse-updater) and a console application called zypper which are non-zmd based. The update stack has been improved in both features and speed.

I just hope, that the "integration of powermanagement features into hal" does not mean that power management got less reliable. And I really hope, that there are still command line interfaces for power management like the powersave tool. Should start the download and test over the weekend I guess...

There is hope :)

That's strange. I thought hal's primary purpose was to assist
in the production of coasters by interfering with dvd burning.

You mean, just like (at least) Fedora and Ubuntu ;-)
