For starters, SuSE's YAST tool, isn't open source to my
knowledge. Red Hat isn't likely to devote engineering resources
to something useful only for playing video games. Someone
theoretically could do it in their spare time, but having it
designated as a must-have solution for the enterprise is
unlikely.
It's just not something I can see us spending money developing
internally. It does however make perfect sense being developed
by someone sufficiently motivated to volunteer and write such a
tool cleanly, or suggest an existing one. (Or convince someone
else to write one.)
Perfectly fits into the community nature of the project for such
a motivated individual.
