IMO, moving to 3.12 is good for SUSE, too. It means more test coverage. The openSUSE kernel may take different kernel configs, but the kernel code base itself can be shared with SLE12.
To me, this is a question that should be largely independent of what SUSE does around SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 (though I'll admit that can be another gentle nudge).
Hi, I tend to agree (as a biased 3.12 maintainer and -stable "merger" to our repos). However this discussion is recurring and the switch was denied last time. The reasons are obvious, fear of regressions. But provided the stable-3.12 branch receives much more * fixes and * testing than the openSUSE branch, I now recommend the move to 3.12 too.
From all I know, upstream is not keen to introduce regressions, or at least let them live for long.
And my regular test usage of Fedora over the years has shown that at least for everything I did that fear for regressions was pretty unfounded.
My recommendation is to just go for it.
