An other alternative could be to just add features to Tumbleweed to support the latest LTS kernel in the repos so that it would be more easy to not get latest kernels all the time without doing a lot of custom workarounds that can lead to breakage.
It would be nice if TW offered a kernel-lts package which is the latest lts release ( arch does this ). When I want to keep the LTS release I update my zypper config to keep the lts kernel version number and keep updating until there are no new versions but then once a kernel version greater than the lts version is out TW will no longer have fixes to the LTS version that come out.
technically there is nothing preventing shipping a LTS kernel as part of Tumbleweed. However, to do so somebody needs to maintian the kernel-lts package. Also the kernel-lts package needs to go through QA increasing the workload on the QA side. Thanks Michal
