There is nothing new about this.

When an rpm package is updated, config files some times are replaced, some 
times are not, and you get a bunch of .rpmnew, .rpmsave config files to 
revise later. You get this behavior even when you do security updates via 
YOU on the stable distro.

I will simply do a zypper dup as always, then check, as always. If it gets 
too bad, then I reinstall. This is factory, so problems are to be 
expected.
