One can only hope. It's made life miserable for a number of people, myself included, over time.
But have you looked at it recently? Last time I looked I found support for a second initrd image for the starter system to make adding the OCO modules fairly easy.
PS With SuSE you get the OCO version from the day they cut the kernel rpm package. From what I see the OCO modules are refreshed more frequently (with a reason quite often) than the kernel package on the SuSE maintenance web. So even with SuSE you may need to find the stuff and install it yourself.
