For people like you who buy USB 3.1 Gen 2 Ludicrous speed cards so early in the protocols existence the Kernel doesn't support it yet, we have Tumbleweed.

Or they can use Kernel:stable on top of Leap, which combines the stability with extra hardware support.

This is a good point.

Indeed it is :-)

I would suggest a special download option: openSUSE Leap with updated hardware support (mainly a Kernel from Kernel_stable; but optional also an updated graphical subsystem etc.).

I like the idea. Distribute Leap with an LTS kernel, and provide an option to upgrade to a more recent kernel for those that need that hardware support. On "as is" basis, not full support, but neither "kernel of the day".

All you need for that is to find someone who will take care of such kernel branch and update it; the infrastructure exists and is publicly available; kernel-source git has script to export the package exactly in the form needed for OBS and OBS will provide you a repository you can simply add with "zypper ar". And now for the hard part: who is going to be that someone?
