They should remind you that kde3 is no longer in the main repos and you need :-
Why would the upgrade of zypper have to do anything to kde3? It is a text mode application.
Hi, it is quite simple. Answer is dependencies. After each update system still must working. You want update zypper -> require new libzypp -> I think that old yast bindings doesn't work with old libzypp due to ABI changes -> update yast -> new yast require new qt-bindings -> update qt -> and this leads to get remove kde3, because you don't have qt3 after this step ( I think it is related also to renaming of packages from name(name4 for kde4) to name3(name for kde4). so it naturally update to kde4 version your kde3 packages.
I know it's not quite zypper dup but when I tried an update from 11.2 rc2 x86_64 dvd from rc1, I couldn't add any of my existing repos (http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552439) and it wanted to remove most of my kde3 installation. Qt3 is still in 11.2 so it couldn't have been due to that so I assumed that it was because kde3 was no longer in 11.2 repo and thus an unsupported package. From experience when I have done a zypper dup and have disabled most of my extra repositories, I have had to renable them to prevent packages from being removed.
