2. It is hard to locate individual packages and make sure you have what you need when things are failing to work right

Yesssss you have the point. That because im involve to devel Packagekit with conary. The way for search packages as the bad points of foresight and not Theoden note that a lot of reviews of Foresight on blogs/distrowatch/google said that. But this change packageKit now can search on details name categorie and package browsing .... its on qa branch xD and still development.

3. The idea of ‘group’s puts numerous things together making it somewhat confusing to sort out when a dependency is not met for an app you really need.

And i think on the next version string because its the philosophy of Foresight used the "last Version"

We not have LST because the next moth have something can be better.... can be the replacement.
