Since technically we're in feature freeze for 11.4, I thought I'd put this out for discussion.
Factory is currently using 2.6.36 which was released 3 weeks ago. Upstream versions tend to take about 10-11 weeks, on average, to release. The scheduled release for the first openSUSE RC is Jan 20.
The scheduled release for the first RC is Jan 20. The typical development time for a kernel release, on average, is about 10-11 weeks. That puts the release of 2.6.37 around Dec 29 to Jan 12.
I really don't follow kernel development anywhere near enough to have an informed opinion on 2.6.36 vs. 2.6.37.
But I can say this, the 2.6.34 in 11.3 caused a lot of problems for many people with basic things like shutting down or rebooting on many machines - often machines which worked fine with older kernels. So we definitely don't want something like that to happen again.
Beforehand I had thought 11.3 was poised for success having a newer kernel than Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora at the time - but it turned out not to be an advantage at all - au contraire.
