... and last but not least, another bigger disadvantage is the lack of KMPs. The extra kernel module packages provided for Leap 15.0 kernel won't be available for this one. If there are alternative ones for TW, we can take them, though.
Also, the Nvidia KMP build is often broken with each kernel version update. It'd be another reason to stick with TW kernel, not the bleeding edge one in OBS Kernel:stable.
Well, but users have a choice. Those in need of out-of-tree drivers would
go with the standard kernel. Those in need of latest upstream drivers
could switch to the more recent kernel. It's a fair deal, you can't easily
have the best of both worlds.
Actually, this may make testing and forward-porting of KMPs easier and
more attractive.
