   That it is not maintained and adjusted for the current system features.   
      
   For example, create a new user. One thing YaST does is ascribe the user   
   to the default group "users", whereas the new style of the system is   
   create a new group with the same name as the user, and add the user to   
   that group.   
      
   I don't have any strong opinion toward any of the two methods, but one   
   is the traditional in this distro. Why change it without a community   
   discussion?
