The branch is already public. It's based on 3.12.
Using the SLE12 branch directly may be tricky since there are different architecture targets for openSUSE and SLES. Unfortunately, those are details I can't get into just yet. I can share that we are not building 32-bit kernels for any architecture, so a SLE12 kernel used on openSUSE will have zero i586 testing performed on it as part of the SLE testing matrix. While I certainly wouldn't mind it happening, I don't know of any openSUSE plans to drop i586 support just yet.
I don't think Evergreen uses the SLES kernel, but it does use the same version as SLES and then it pulls in patches from the SLES kernel set of patches. I don't think it pulls all of them in, but that is a separate discussion. So switching oS 13.1 to the 3.12 kernel may involve some significant 32-bit testing, but it should eliminate the openSUSE team having to search for patches and then having to backport them to the 3.11 kernel. Hopefully the end result is a better kernel with less work expended.
