According the information provided with the del req for master-boot- code (which, by the way was broken for a long time - see http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1125307 )
the replacement is to use
/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin
as provided by syslinux instead of the .mbr provided by m-b-c.
What does this mean for the typical user? master-boot-code is indeed gone. My system boots okay. So I guess all is okay. It just sounds like an important thing.
The bug report shown above states that the deleted package has not been used for 5 years. You will not see any change, just as I have not, and I always boot from a partition, not the master boot record, which contains generic code. Also, the one system of mine that dual-boots Windows and Tumbleweed also works. Of course, it was necessary to install Windows first, but so far, no updates have broken it.
