Simple: If you choose to run an unofficial Contrib image that does not
use our Tumbleweed kernel, you will have to live with the pain of fixing
your /boot/zImage, /boot/init and /boot/dtb symlinks whenever Tumbleweed
installs new official kernel-default or dtb-bcm2835 packages.

There's a reason official images exist that do not have that problem.

When using upstream based kernels you can even use a GRUB boot menu to
switch between kernels, only the /boot/dtb symlink is relevant then.
I've been meaning to update the image to GRUB, but with
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=989284 it seems a bad time
to drop the separate /boot partition...

Cheers,
Andreas
