Hopefully that's a good kind of "interesting", I'm still not
very confident in how Smart's Launchpad is supposed to be used.

It was just an attempt to bring down the number of open bugs
and code branches to something that was more easy to handle...

I'm getting something of an exponential growth in the number
of different code paths when looking at the "1.3" and "2.0"
features (or whatever you want to call the futuristic ideas)
So I would like to cut a few of the dozen branches I have...

I specifically meant the comments in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/smart/+bug/247351/comments/10
and the add-on hack I did for metalink:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/smart/+bug/314070

There was yumsync, which was more or less ready to go ?
(and the sibling zyppsync, which has a lot in common)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/smart/+bug/245109
https://code.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/plugins

I believe you were also involved in changelog addition ?
(maybe also in the extra rpm-md pathlist parsing added)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/smart/+bug/245338
https://code.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/changelog

I also added the "smart-applet", as it seemed ready ?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/smart/+bug/253093

Gustavo might have some more code specifics, but those
were the major additions with your name on them... :-)
