Yes, because nobody has complained of this behavior.
Huh?
Those complaints are as old as libzypp.

This one is marked as "fixed", albeit only at one point logging was reduced.
Frankly, I find it hard to make any use whatsoever of y2logs where any libzypp
action was performed (and there are few that have none), because libzypp
logging typically dominates 95% or more of the y2logs.
While I understand that package management is a very complex matter and
problems can only be tracked down with comprehensive logs, let's _please_
reduce this to a reasonable amount.
Many things are logged 5 times or more, on each function call level. More
often than not, there is little or no information added at each level. Why
not reduce that to one single log line? (And come to think of it, how did it
ever come this far - it's obvious when you start the program for the first
time that most logging is duplicated, triplicated or worse?).
No, all this is not new. And it's not true that nobody complained.
