2) why don't we use an LTSS kernel for Leap?
Dario I'd recommend the following answer every time you get this question
"Because Greg Kroah-Hartman, the #2 Leading Linux Kernel Engineer and the maintainer of the upstream LTS Kernel says that any distribution kernel is better than that LTS Kernel"
From talking to Greg on this topic endlessly I know he'd appreciate if we all did a better job of spreading the word and correcting people's expectations about the upstream LTS kernel versions.
Fully agreed, we've also received some negative feedback regarding kernel choice of SLE/Leap. Essentially why not LTS? And perhaps sharing this on news.opensuse.org would be a nice way to respond.
His full blog on the topic is here: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2018/08/24/what-stable-kernel-should-i-use/
