klogd is not really used by anything anymore, thus we removed it.

Yes, some of those were renames/obsoletes by others.
E.g. yast2-branding-SLES got renamed to yast2-branding-SLE as it is used by
several products, thus reducing the amount of confusion possible.

As we had no RC1 but a Beta10, the changes were more than I liked, but
better then than in the RC phase...

For the next milestone, I expect a few changes due to the
'ruby-version-versioning' of the rubygems (means, we make it now clear in
the dependency and package names which ruby-version is required for a
rubygem, not leaving it to guesswork by admins).

You will also see some packages that get moved out of modules to SLES core,
mostly in the python-area.

After RC1 is released, the changes in the package lists should be close to
zero. Targetted is of course zero, but I cannot exclude the probability ;)
