Swiss no more?

I'm sure plenty of locals would disagree, but for purely selfish reasons it would be great if Lufthansa were to take over Swiss Airlines. Flying Swiss is usually the easiest option because they fly directly from their hub in Zurich (much less so from Basel), but I seldom fly with them since they're not in any of the big alliances and because they're perpetually on the verge of going bust. Instead, I usually have to connect through Frankfurt--an airport that is bleak at best--on Lufthansa to get Star Alliance points. How nice it would be to have more direct flights and be able to earn points that I'll actually be able to use someday...
