Don't expect it. This is one of the effects of basing Leap on SLES.
Well that doesn't necessarily mean Leap *must* have the same kernel (e.g. 42.1), but I would agree that it's unlikely we'd see a kernel update at this point in time.
Well, basically it does :-)
It is not the exact same version, though.
Although Leap42.3 is using a 4.4.X kernel, it does have some fixes ported from later kernels so that it can support newer hardware.
Right, there are tons of patches, namely Leap 42.3 has ca 16,000 patches on top of vanilla 4.4 kernel. Also, the update of the whole KMS graphics stack is provided via drm-kmp for Leap 42.3, instead of yet another a few thousands of backport patches. It'll be automatically drug onto system via rpm supplements tag for the corresponding hardware. Note that the package description of drm-kmp shows "the update for kaby lake", but it's not true, it's the update for the whole graphics. The fix of the package description is already in queue.
