IMO, an automated or manual update should not remove a critical package; certain packages should be listed on a list of critical packages and need a double confirmation with red blinking screen before allowing any of them to be removed.
Kernel, zypper, yast, libc, boot scripts...
I don't think it was zypper misbehaving here... it's 3rd party repo updating (once again) crucial packages, which are part of the distribution. This is almost always doomed to fail at one point in time. @PMs: I thought such disastrous things were known from Alsa updates in the past? Wasn't the rule in PM now NOT to have any lib as an update that existed in the base distro?

Yes, but zypper/yast should not allow it. Important things should not depend on a point of failure.
