Assume there was a summer 2014 opensuse release. What are you proposing as relates to leveraging the SLE kernel?
IMHO we shouldn't automatically assume that if we decide to transform "release openSUSE" to be base it on SLE core packages, we keep the release schedule we've had in the previous model (every 8/12 months). If we go this way, it may make sense to have longer intervals and to adjust the timing to SLE releases. In other words...
When in 2014 would the SLE 3.12 kernel have been available to opensuse? Maybe the opensuse release could have been delayed to wait for it?
Yes, it would IMHO make good sense to align that openSUSE release (if we were already in the mode we are only discussing now) to SLE12 release and use SLE12 based kernel.
Btw: am I right that Evergreen leveraged the SLE 3.0 kernel and plans to leverage the 3.12 kernel?
Yes. Evergreen 11.4 has 3.0 kernel based on SLE11 SP2 (you may find my earlier e-mail(s) explaining in detail what exactly this means) that replaced the original 2.6.37 and there is a SLE12 based kernel for 13.1 (in home:mkubecek:evergreen-13.1 OBS project) that is supposed to become Evergreen 13.1 kernel unless we decide to base it on SLE12-SP1 instead (which becomes quite appealing as 13.1 regular support is likely to end later than originally expected). It wasn't painless but I believe the overall experience was positive.
