Lists repos?? :) Replaces the repo addresses so instead of zypper and YaST going to download.opensuse.org and being redirected to a mirror, it will download from mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/ . This may or may not be quicker, depending on how close you are to mirrors.kernel.org, and how loaded it is, compared to the mirror download.opensuse.org points you to, and how loaded that one is.

Kernel.org is listed as one of the mirrors for openSUSE, and so Novell believes they are trustworthy.
