Please do not remove it unless zypper is getting something similar to "yum provides <filename>" which is basically the same as what pin does, but across all known repositories.
zypper search --file-list ?
I see zypper still has a short-coming there: it only finds files of 'installed' packages, which is clearly not good enough. 'pin' is excluded from proper functioning in Tumbleweed and also on regular releases requires manual action for users (even inserting the DVD is quite odd if a user installed from the NET iso). I think we should try to step back and understand what exactly a tool like 'pin' is trying to solve for us and then find a way to make this happen across the board - independent of installation method used by a user. (for 42.2 in any case, pin will be present; there is no discussion to touch this) Cheers, Domnique
