Old history (or my recollects on it):
*) TW is rather an improved factory (and renamed). No. No. No. Factory was a development version, TW is a rolling release. The latter is built exactly like Leap, and goes through openQA just like Leap. Every time updates are released. Except for critical fixes.
I do not agree. For instance, TW does not undergo manual testing and beta phases as Leap does.
*) "zypper dup" was initially designed for factory. At that time everything was designed/developed in Factory first. To make zypper able to do an upgrade path to a next openSUSE version.
I mean that it was designed specifically to upgrade factory in day to day usage.
*) --no-allow-vendor-change is a recent and most wanted addition to cope with systems having several repos. On these, "zypper dup" would destroy the setup, and "zypper up" worked most of the times (although eventually the system degraded). This situation lasted years, so many people became to think that "zypper up" was the appropriate method for TW that we have today.
Where did you get that information? The advice to use 'zypper dup' has been in de wiki for ages. If you'd use TW and investigate how its updating ( actually upgrading apart from some exceptions ) is done, you'd know this is plain wrong.
It is my expert and considered opinion. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
