I'm running openSUSE 13.2 with the Kernel:stable:standard repo. I've noticed that the kernel-desktop package has been missing for some time now. I checked the OBS and don't see it in the Overview tab either. Has that package been removed? aiui, kernel-desktop has been rolled into kernel-default. It hasn't been ROLLED into *-default.
kernel-desktop has been REPLACED by kernel-default -- as in _Back to the Future_ replaced.
Apart from a truckload of CONFIG statemets which were *removed* from the *-desktop but which are STILL in the *-default, these are the differences between *-desktop and *-default:
Some people running timing-critical applications may be affected by this change - but nobody appears to see fit to make an official announcement about this.
If you are now trialling 'Leap of Faith' then it already contains the kernel-default (4.1.10-1.1). You must have missed it. Rolled into is the same as merged as I see it.
Patrick, 'merge' is defined as- "verb (used with object), merged, merging. 1. to cause to combine or coalesce; unite. 2. to combine, blend, or unite gradually so as to blur the individuality or individual identity of: They voted to merge the two branch offices into a single unit." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/merge?s=t and 'rolled' into one as- "If someone or something has several qualities rolled into one, the person or thing has all of those qualities..." https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/rolled-into-one kernel-desktop was NOT 'merged' or 'rolled into' anything. It was REPLACED by kernel-default. What is stated below about "the merge" is not kosher - to be polite.
re: The few noteworthy updates where: ================================= * Linux Kernel 4.2.3. The merge of the -desktop flavor into the -default flavor is now reality. You setup will replace the kernel-desktop package(s) with kernel-default. One side effect is that ALL kernel-desktop versions are removed, not only the latest version. You can avoid this with a zypper lock (zypper al kernel-desktop)

But, zypper lock did not retain the previous kernels. Zypper refused to install kernel-default w/o removing the kernel-desktop installs. I did not try --force
