I would just like to point out that something like that is entirely possible: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:One_Click_Install http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:One_Click_Install
And as an example[1]: you can go to http://software.opensuse.org/ http://software.opensuse.org/, and type the name of a program[2] in there, and it will give you a quick description along with a link that installs that program by enabling the appropriate repository. This means you get the program automatically, in one click, and you get a working upgrade path since the repository is selected. I think that's pretty close to magic, and it is all centralised as well!
[1]: To provide a direct example: http://software.opensuse.org/package/chromium http://software.opensuse.org/package/chromium
[2]: It doesn't actually need to be a name, you can also type e.g. "Browser" and look through the results until you find something suitable and/or what you were looking for.
