Heavily patched.
Indeed.
I've never been quite sure where to draw the line between 'patching' and 'changing'. it's all very well to say that earlier version have patches, but that begs the question: why stay with the earlier version rather than upgrade?
Again, it is the SLE kernel, You have to think in terms of SLE. Remember, SLE doesn't go for the latest. Why don't they change kernel? Because this one is already tested, it does what it is asked, and testing another costs a huge lot of money.
