Kernel update is done to close security holes or fix problem that affects large number of users, so default not to touch is plain wrong for majority.

Those that need "don't update kernel" can taboo kernel package, and YOU/zypper will not touch it.
The multiversion feature of zypper solves problem that user can have when new kernel is not good for particular system, make the old one default, let updates come and test them, until there is one that works for you.
One thing I don't understand about the multiversion feature (and "man zypper" doesn't help the least): how many is "multi"? Is it 2, N, or infinite? If it is infinite, then this feature doesn't provide what a "normal user" expects.
