zypper lifecycle is the tool that anyone should use to confirm the current support status of their current packages
the deprecation of mysql-community-server was clearly documented in the release notes for 42.3:

You are expected to read the release notes for such notifications - thjat's why we include them in the installer even. Thank you. I didn't know the "zypper lifecycle" command and I didn't read the section in release notes.
To be honest, I read release notes only, if I install openSUSE or upgrade openSUSE to a newer version. I guess that MySQL became deprecated sometime after the openSUSE 42.3 release. There is also a translation error in the release notes: English: "The packages exist to aid migration, but their use is discouraged and they may not receive updates." German: "Die Pakete existieren zur Migrationsunterstützung, aber es wird von ihrer Verwendung abgeraten und sie dürfen keine Updates erhalten." "sie dürfen keine Updates erhalten" means translated back to English: "they must not receive updates". As I think, that the English original text is right, I suggest the following German translation "Die Pakete existieren zur Migrationsunterstützung, aber es wird von ihrer Verwendung abgeraten und sie könnten keine Updates mehr erhalten." BTW, mysql-community-server in openSUSE Leap 42.3 had initially the version 5.6.36-25.1 and got three updates (5.6.37-27.1, 5.6.38-30.1, 5.6.39-33.1). I currently test 5.6.40 for me and the community (in my home repository).
