In some circumstances, mainly developmental, it is desirable to have an installer with the very latest kernel. It is proposed that we add a remarked out section to enable this that references the relevant additional repositories i.e.:

https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-reference/cha-tuning-multikernel.html#sec-tuning-multikernel-latest

However we must be clear, via comments in this new section, that this is likely a breaking change.

It would also be nice if we could accompany this change with a similarly positioned btrfs-progs resource. However this may be spun off in it's own issue. Previously our early Tumbleweed profiles addressed this developer niche but with the dropping of python 2 in that distro variant we must first address issue rockstor/rockstor-core#1877 before we can again entertain maintenance on that profile.

We need to use backport variants to be compatible with the leap libc
version.
