So, "If it ain't broke, why fix it?". Because of someone's whim or for some ideological reason? If the same effect can be had with -default by setting some options, I think there is no problem. Maintaining one kernel and kernel-dependent packages would be less work.
I would hope that the Leap release notes tell how to get the same effect with -default as one currently has with -desktop. Just dropping support without providing this information will cause lots of confusion.
I have no problems with not having to compile another version of the kernel such as kernel-desktop if the same settings which were, and still are, in kernel-desktop were to be used in latest (for want of a better description) kernel-default. As the 'Differences' I provided in that Suse Paste show, there is no reason why kernel-default should not use the settings used in kernel-desktop. For years since kernel-desktop has been the "default" kernel installed in every release of openSUSE, nobody has complained of any negative effects of having this *-desktop installed, why then replace it with the *-default and its CONFIG settings? But having stated this, I wonder why there is no opposition to having to maintain and compile different kernels such as- kernel-ec2 kernel-pae (NOTE: this was dropped in v4.1.10-1 in 'Leap of Faith' RC1) kernel-pv kernel-vanilla kernel-xen?
