I've been removing them from mine. If you try removing them, and they are depends of some package, you should be able to find out what by attempting to remove them. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

udisks2 -> libblockdev -> libbd_lvm2 -> lvm2 libbd_lvm2 is plugin for libblockdev. The whole idea of having plugins is that they are optional. The plugin was made hard requirement for libblockdev in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/932759. Because program lvm-cache-stats that supports only LVM did not work when lbbd_lvm2 was not present. Somehow it sounds backwards. libbd_lvm2 and lvm-cache-stats should probably supplement libblockdev and lvm2.
Thanks to both of you for your replies. I know I could remove ( or try to ) but I was interested in why all of the sudden lvm became required when I don't use it. Looks like there are 10 dependencies on those 3 packages now: zypper rm libbd_lvm2 liblvm2cmd2_03 lvm2 Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 10 packages are going to be REMOVED: discover-backend-fwupd fwupd libbd_lvm2 libblockdev libfwupd2 libfwupdplugin2 liblvm2cmd2_03 lvm2 typelib-1_0-Fwupd-2_0 udisks2 10 packages to remove. After the operation, 13.1 MiB will be freed. Not a lot of disk space but I would prefer not to have stuff installed that I don't use. I think you're right about it sounding backwards...
