It's not outdated, it is for another product: openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Everything seems to be there on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

No, this would be plain wrong. Never add requires you don't need,
this will only break a lot of other stuff, but will not help anybody.
Or in other words: wrong or useless requires have only disadvantages,
never a single advantage. Like in this case.

That's the good thinks on wiki: you can fix that yourself ;)

For SLE15, if you need firewall-macros, please open a bug report,
so that it will be added to the right Module.
