  For some reason OpenSuse has the policy that they never upgrade the
kernel (nor gcc) of a given distro to the newest version. They only patch
the official kernel of that distro with security patches. Updating the
kernel (or gcc) manually is always At Your Own Risk (tm).

  Why would anyone want to run linux on an UltraSPARC? AFAIK linux still
doesn't get even close to Solaris in scalability...

I think it has something to do with any changes in the ABI that might 
affect other software/drivers installed on the system.

Just a guess, though.

Well, if it's so great, why release a new version of the kernel?

And if the new kernel is exactly the same as the old one... what's the 
point...? I'm confused...
