If you have a laptop younger than two or three years old, you have little chance to make it running with 42 in native graphics. Similarly, most of new WiFi chips won't work with 42.
How hard would it be to backport fixes to resolve that?
Very hard. It'll need yet another (literally) thousands patches. And it breaks kABI that is one of the most important points in SLE kernel.
Surely SUSE need to also get SLED 12 working on hardware that new?
