Do you have a source for SUSE reverse engineering RHEL code drops? Last I checked they were unrelated.

It's interesting that while RH/IBM are moving away from the 'community rebuild' model SUSE are moving close.

I've been running a homelab cluster on Kubic for about a month. My favourite part is definitely waking up in the morning to a new kernel version or patch k8s upgrade.
