I understand your frustration. I can't get convinced though that a backport is worth the priority.
- Either the system is non critical and you don't change kernels (I mean kernel versions) like end-users do - We can reasonable assume a SUSE kernel update will work. - If you run a critical system, you would not change the kernel on a the production system. I think you are missing the point. The point is that by removing a known working kernel and installing a kernel that does not work on the user's system leaves the user in a bind. It is much better to have multiple kernels installed as that insures
