Ok, great, that is really helpful. I actually did both, and compared the rpm query with what I was seeing in yast. It seems that there are several packages in the rpm query that are listed as having been installed under packman when I had the packman 42.2 repository on there, but they are not showing up as unmaintained packages in yast.
For example, the package libtxc_dxtn-1.0.1-4.2 shows up in the rpm query, but it is not listed as unmaintained in yast. I went into the packman repo for 42.3, and this package is not available there. Why would that be? An earlier version is available for 42.3, libtxc_dxtn-1.0.1-4.1.
But then there are others, like libbctoolbox0-0.2.0-4.1.x86_64.rpm, that the same version is available in both the 42.2 packman repo and the 42.3 packman repo.
So, for these packages, what should I do? Should I just try deleting them and see what happens? I expect they were installed as dependencies with the 42.2 multimedia installation guide, which I did over a year ago.
Here is the list of my extra packages:

There is a ongoing drive to move packages that no longer need to be in Packman to openSUSE proper. This applies to the above packages. Accept the openSUSE versions of these packages and you won't lose any functionality. Mp3's patents expired last year and the relative libraries made it into 42.3. There will also be mpeg2 video support out of the box in Leap:15.0 as the last patent expired on the 14th of this month.

As for the kernels, the latest from update is 4.4.114, there are various ways of purging kernels, I use a non standard one, maybe someone else can explain purge-kernels.
