But nobody explicitly *supports* those users. We don't test or validate against Kernel:* projects. If we add that to this, we'll be paralyzed.
Well, quite a lot of users have been using Kernel:stable kernel on Leap systems over many years. I have no statistics but I know it from a pile of bug reports. That is, although Kernel:stable on Leap is not tested systematically, practically it's been working, and any regression is notified by the *real* user.
So yes, we are paralyzed in that sense, and we must keep it working on both TW and Leap as much as possible. Breaking such a thing just for some random consistency purpose doesn't sound like a valid excuse...
And then we wonder why nobody is willing to contribute to packages with dozen of patches kept for seemingly no reason but to keep everything compatible with SLE10. This is even more problematic with the kernel since we cannot have version-specific packaging, because Kernel projects build only for Factory/standard.
