Huh, are you actually serious? Unless SUSE is planning on backporting every single new driver that matters for endusers using cheap laptops then this is inevitably becomes an issue and moreso than today where we get at least _all_ the latest drivers every 8 months.
The point is if you want "all the latest drivers", you can use Tumbleweed and have them every month or so. This discussion is rather about a stable, reliable and reasonably maintained distribution to provide for (e.g.) three years as an alternative for those who prefer the "stable" direction over the "latest and greatest" one. IMHO the main misunderstanding is that you base your comments on the assumption that the way openSUSE kernel has been maintained until now worked pretty well so that it would be best to go on with it. I don't believe this is the case and previous discussions (there were e.g. suggestions to move 13.1 to 3.12 kernel even within regular support period) show that I'm not the only one.
