An example which would need a simple solution, i.e. work with either zypper up
or dup and a mx of one added option is:
User has a repo and updates the system. that repo contained a newer version of
e.g. Qt or Xorg, which brakes his system. Now it would be easiest, if the user
simply removes the repo, which will lead to "red packages", i.e. there is only
a lower version available. (packages for which there is no other version
available are a different matter) If the user now issues a zypper dup, not only
will all packages for which only a lower version exists be updated, but new
packages might be installed as well. The latter is what one should be able to
avoid, i.e. tell zypper to do a dup without installing new packages.
The -repo does not work because the user does not know which repo the older
packages should come from, i.e. zypper simply has to go through each of the
available repos and pick the highest version available.
