Hi
So what if an openSUSE User who doesn't want packman but does want
cups-pdf for 42.2, they are SOL?

They use devel repos and know the risk, they install and disable the
Printing repo, or they download and manually install all from OBS, I
think our current max repos added by a user with issues was 108 on the
forums ;)

@olaf, I think you will wind up going down a sticky road once you start
re-adding stuff that can be built on OBS... If it makes it to
Tumbleweed, then it gets in the next release if maintainers push...
