No. The package names have not been changed. Only a new type Application has been introduced (not properly) in zypper. If anything changes in the packages that belong to these applications you will see that the message that the application will be removed, which in fact is not the case. So just ignore the messages about applications, they are bogus.
Okay then, thanks for the details. This reminds me of a lot of times that I have seen that some chmod and access rights messages get displayed every now and then during zypper up or zypper dup times that always made me wonder if file access rights and paradigms of path names and executable bits and all that change so often in opensuse only or in linuxland in general that those messages get displayed. Somehow I can still not really recommend linux to newbies up to this day as I have often heard back from linux newbies and I also cannot explain them all those warning messages and reasons and they do ask me if the situation if those file rights warnings come up at a certain point of time, if their system has been kind of vulnerable or mis-configured in what ways. Maybe open source stuff is transparent and all and everything is obviously always evolving and changing, but sometimes one does wonder if software guys are constantly reinventing everything over or changing their minds and even changing fundamental things such as file and directory rights and properties and so on.
