Why does Tumbleweed insist on reinstalling YaST? (europe.pub)

Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

The announcement is part of the Leap 16 release announcement if you want to look at it.

The alternatives are Myrlyn for package management and Cockpit for system administration.
