For SLE or for openSUSE? What does 'supported' mean on openSUSE?
If you mean for SLE: sorry, wrong audience: we do not care about this here.

I'd like us (openSUSE) making sure we try to work with SLE in mind too
(since SLE is based on openSUSE), not against it (at least, when it
doesn't mean a lot of work dumped on openSUSE). Of course, a solution
could also be to reach module-init-tools maintainer or the person who
wrote the patch for module-init-tools and ask him to port it to kmod.

I agree: not to work 'against' SLE, but being blocked by stuff which
is for SLE is wrong for openSUSE. If it's an easy hack/fix, let's move
it on... otherwise, if SLE folks care about it, they should also port
the functionality or stick to the previous technology that works for
them...

That's what I have in mind when stating that openSUSE must not stall
because of SLE decisions (This is actually the only way we can prove
that *WE* as a community control openSUSE, and not the SLE-PM)
