Yes, I've been trying to only cause this to rebuild once a week at most,
but due to the recent mixup with KDE, we got a few more rebuilds this
past week.

And it's solved by a simple line in your zypper config file:
        multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)

See above for how to do that.

As for ksplice, no it would not work for us, the kernel changes we do
are too "intrusive" like update to new minor releases, or major ones.

Oh, and it seems the ksplice project is dead as well, so that too is a
big issue with anyone using it :(
