Hm, to be honest I don't know yet either. I didn't use SuSE since the pre 
YaST2 days anymore. On the promo list Scott Wheeler wrote following:

"Actually I don't know if you've ever looked at the code, but it's written in 
a weird meta-style so that it can be used with different GUIs.  One of those 
just happens to be a Qt frontend."

Reading a couple of resources about it YaST mostly seems to access one unified 
central configuration file where all available settings are stored and then 
calls suseconf which then handles the work of comparing and applying the 
changes to individual configurations files, creating scriptes etc. I suppose 
we will find out more when the source is publically released.
