I've revamped the page pretty much now and got rid of the 1-Click install
stuff.
Using this is not recommended and may cause issues.
I've reworded your warnings to be a bit stronger and extended the
recommendations a bit so that the adventurous users know how to avoid problems.

We've spent a lot of thought to get the automatic mechanism right, anything
else will introduce numerous corner cases one cannot catch all. This is why we
don't recommend to use 1-Click or other ways for manual install.

Yes, this is however only an issue if one updates to G04 manually. On the same
version of openSUSE we will never change the the 'Supplements:'. This will only
happen from one version of openSUSE to the next - but in this case the new
repos are only available after the installation: the old NVIDIA packages will
be gone at that time anyway.
One can still run into this issue when updating the distro using 'zypper dup'
after updation all repos (including the NVIDIA one).
This will be a problem for SLE12 in the future if not fixed as there these
repos can be added before installing the packages. This however is of no major
concern here.
