Another option looks like via zypp.conf:
solver.dupAllowVendorChange = false
Is there any functional difference between it and the cmdline option?
And if there is none (as I expect), wouldn't it make sense to set this as default on Tumbleweed, after all what's been said in this thread?
but there is and it *is* adjustable :). I do not want it set to false.
From my understanding of this thread, "zypper dup --no-allow-vendor- change" would be the recommended way to update for novice users, in particular if non-standard repos such as packman are active. If that's true, it makes sense to make it the default. Novice users can't be expected to read through and understand the Wiki before doing updates. Users with different preferences can still set the option back to false. RPM update mechanism can make sure that the default doesn't change silently for running systems.
It took myself (new to TW but not to Linux) 6 months and this thread to
even find out about "solver.dupAllowVendorChange".

PS: Funny, my personal preference is to allow vendor change on update
and disallow it on dup, quite contrary to the current default.
