Hmmm so what do people do when they need a newer kernel (assuming they
are not knowledgeable enough to manage compiling their own kernel)?
Do they have to wait on the next openSUSE release?

For example the computer I was working on this weekend.... we
installed 10.2 specifically because of the bug 331610.  The default
kernel in 10.3 will not work on this motherboard.  After installing we
discovered that some peripheral hardware needs kernel 2.6.22 or
higher, and all that is available on 10.2 is 2.6.18.
