It is somewhat hard to discuss something like this on general grounds.
Having some examples in the back would help.  That said, since you are
asking explicitly...

...this is a simple one:  If such a case really arises (and I cannot
imagine one at this point, but let's assume there may be one) Novell
will shoulder the effort and cost on the SLE side.

As a corollary, we (Novell) may not activtely engage on the openSUSE
side of this coin, so we (openSUSE community) may have to step up.
That is very different from blocking such a change, however, and a
sign of a vital community in fact.

Does that address your questions?
