I fail to see what advantage arbitrary mix of SLE and non-SLE packages can provide. Doing it you lose the main argument for SLE - extensive QA and long term stability.
I don't think so. If e.g. konversation crashes, it's definitely unfortunate and annoying but I still see it as a problem of much lower importance than a crashing kernel or a security bug in OpenSSL. So I do see some merit in having a stable base ("core" packages) from SLE (or based on it) and some (less stable) fancy stuff on top of it.
What about updated core packages?
AFAIK SLE 12 ships with AppArmor 2.8.x which isn't supported upstream anymore, and has totally different code in the aa-* tools (2.8 has perl tools, 2.9 got them rewritten in python, so backporting fixes is basically impossible - and the SLE maintainers already found this out the hard way [1]).
I'm quite sure I'll submit AppArmor 2.9.x(or the soon-to-be-released [2] 2.10) to openSUSE 42 because maintaining 2.8.x would be a pain. Needless to say that this comes with more changes than just the aa-* tools, and might influence other packages in the core.
That'll be an interesting experiment. We'll see how this works out. It is a very concrete example of where things can seriously go awry by sticking to "old" stuff. This will be very interesting.
