I would hazard a guess and say there's no opposition to those because they serve specific purposes. kernel-desktop doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Then, provided that is if you don't mind me asking, why was the kernel-desktop ever created as the "default" kernel to be installed during every release of openSUSE for the past xx years? I guess it was only the default on desktop systems, but I'd have to double-check what goes in the minimum text-only pattern. It was presumably created to be a better, i.e. faster and more responsive kernel for a desktop user. It's not so long ago either - kernel-desktop turned up in openSUSE 11.2, about six years ago.
In an earlier post you mention that the change from desktop to default was because SLE uses kernel-default. The question which follows from what you wrote above is: don't SLE users use workstations the same as those used by you and me and which come from openSUSE to begin with? The question which then follows is: why aren't the SLE users allowed the enjoyment of using a faster responsive system than they now have and which their companies are paying money for (but then, I don't know what the commercial arrangements are re SLE)?
