That's a good reference explaining where the reason for confusion is coming from... the article is about 'the old Tumbleweed' (which, was nothing more than an addon repository over openSUSE Stable releases).
At that time, DUP was mandatory, as a) Tumbleweed packages had a different vendor b) packages were added to the TW repository 'as was needed' (it always started empty with a release, then was being filled up)
No, no. "Zypper dup" was designed for Factory use right from the start, back around 2008, for "daily" use. Each instance of Factory is in fact a new release: some packages are updated, some downgraded, some disappear. Not every day, true: when they don't, you can use "zypper up". Old Tumbleweed required dup because it was a derivative of factory. The New Tumbleweed requires dup because it is Factory. A name symlink, if you prefer. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
