Well, I am not convinced about this. Especially that SLE no longer has an x86 implementation.
I'm going to say something that will be very unpopular but I feel it really needs to be said. Should we really care so much about i586? I don't have any 32-bit system since something like 2008, I definitely haven't seen any 32-bit x86 CPU in usual e-shops for at least 5 years and I'm not sure I would be able to buy one today if I tried hard. Try to answer honestly: how much testing and QA did current (13.2 or Tumbleweed) openSUSE kernel get on i586? How much chance of getting attention to an i586-specific bug would you get? Do you really believe that given the circumstances and popularity of i586 among kernel developers, the state of i586 kernel would be significantly worse if we based openSUSE kernel on SLE (compared to current state)? I don't think so - and even if I did, I don't believe it would outweigh the difference on x86_64.
