I thought it was reasonably well-known, but could easily be mistaken. It *is* what Pete said, though. (He mentioned both RHEL and SLES).

Pete must be confused. SLES 11 is only a year old so SLES 12 isn't due for some time. openSUSE has already moved on to 2.6.33.

And iff there was a new SLES branch right now, I am pretty sure it would use one of the openSUSE kernels - i.e. 2.6.31.

I think the SuSE support for 2.6.32 is paying Greg KH to do that work.
