openSUSE 13.2 appears in bugzilla.opensuse.org, but not in bugzilla.novell.com.
 I reassigned this bug now.

The update of Kernel:stable isn't so frequent.  But much more often than the
normal openSUSE kernel update, yes.   Actually Tumbleweed takes Kernel:stable,
thus taking the kernel from FACTORY would be a safer option, too...

We're moving to the rolling update, so user gets always the latest and greatest
:)

Since the latest kernel works, I close the bug as UPSTREAM.  If you still have
any particular outstanding problem, please create a bug report for each issue.
Thanks.
