Exactly!
I left SuSE just after Novell bought it for three reasons:
1) the initial Novell SUSE EULA was decidedly anti-GPL
2) Yast was only good for installing and uninstalling RPMs that came on
the CD set that I purchased. (I always purchased boxed sets of SuSE...
between 5.3 and 8.2 I purchased 22).
3) When I attempted to install foreign RPMs, mainly from the site you
mentioned, only the RPMS which were from the version of SuSE I was
running, or the prior version, stood half a chance of installing.
The rest of the time I usually encountered the RPM hell you so aptly
described.

Remember, a consumer is a customer with no choice.
DRM 'manages access' in the same way that jail 'manages freedom.'
