Not to speak for Michael or his ambitions, but I was curious and found
this on the openSUSE site:

  http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Management/Sat_Solver
	-especially-
  http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Management/Sat_Solver/Basics

in part:

   "Conclusion

   Using SAT solver algorithms solve many of the problems the old solver had

     * speed: magnitudes faster
     * reliable results
     * extendibility[sic]: implementation of complex dependencies is easy
     * sensible error reports"

Improving Fedora dependency solving speed by just one order of magnitude
would be lovely, the plural is deliriously attractive.
