OpenSUSE provides xvidcore for tumbleweed (since about 14 months) and Leap 16.0, but not leap 15.6. Therefore the packaman package is still necessary. Once Leap 15.6 reaches EOL, it could be removed from packman (although we will loose all the packman changelog history).
For Tumbleweed users who still have installed xvidcore provided by packman, the solution is simply to switch to xvidcore provided by openSUSE (Solution 1 in the update message).
