This is related to the new preload functionality of zypper. See https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/JR725AXWDZYLJ3PKIKYAYQQAXE6OWQMM/

Work in progress as .repo files with mirrorlist= entries will not work in zypper older than 1.14.90.

@bzeller

Could you have a look at this and let me know if this is in general a good idea?

Sorry for the late reply, we reverted the suggestion to manually change from baseurl to mirrorlist for opensuse.org servers. New zypp versions now autoconfigure it automatically. Actually it's important to still have baseurl now because it defines the authority mirror for the repository. The authority is where zypp downloads security relevant data from, e.g. keys and initial repomd.xml for checksums etc.
