Saying kernel updates are unlikely to break your box, is not going to silence demand for the feature. Explaining how it is possible to get same effect without the feature is.
For example: Dell PE 1650 and 2650 servers with onboard raid (aacraid module) using SLES10 still need the latest kernel from SP1 - all newer kernels (from SP2) have a broken aacraid driver. At least 5 broken kernel updates in sequence. All kernels are affected, not only SUSE.
