upgrading openSuse from 13.1 to 13.2 delete non-default repositories?


I have lots of repositories enabled. Should I delete or disable the non-default ones before doing an upgrade to openSuse 13.2? Here's my list:
Code:
 1 | KDE:Qt                    | KDE:Qt                             | Yes     | Yes     | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_13.1/                                                                                                                                                                        
 2 | Packman Repository        | Packman Repository                 | Yes     | Yes     | http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_13.1/

3 | VLC | VLC | No | No | http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/13.2

normally a minor upgrade is no problem
HOWEVER

13.2 is not really a normal minor upgrade

i would first uninstall software from third party repos

and use the 13.2 install dvd to
"upgrade an existing install "

but

be prepared to do a new clean install


PREPARE for the WORST
hope for the best

uninstall software from third party repos

When I use Yast to uninstall repos I get hundreds of listings - maybe a couple thousand. I don't know which are third party repos. I can guess some - for instance audacity is third party right? And filezilla. I would like to know what's ok to keep and what I can delete. I guess it doesn't hurt to delete something I may need later - I can always re-install it.

edit- ok I see now where I can click on tech data and see the vender of the repo. If vendor is not openSuse I guess it's third party right?
