The SuSE kernel is much better then its fame, because a few people 
took a cursorily look into patches.{common,i386}. I imagine, this 
scared the bones out of their bodies, since a single human won't get 
a grip on it in a timely fashion. Others, who watched them, propagate 
this FUD since then.. OTOH, the changelog could be more specific.

I used to roll my owns for diskless usage for a long time, but I'm 
very happy to have learned to use the official ones out of the box 
without hassles.

The preferred path is ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd
or better yet, because rsyncable:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/kernel/kotd
