From the changelog of kernel-source:

- Split the binary kernel packages into three parts:
  + kernel-$flavor-base: very reduced hardware support, intended
                         to be used in virtual machine images
  + kernel-$flavor: extends the base package; contains all kernel
                    modules we can support
  + kernel-$flavor-extra: all other kernel modules which may be
                          useful, but which we cannot support.

If you have questions or comments, please ask on the opensuse-kernel
mailing list,

Andreas
