I think this should should to Suse and other distributions. More frequent releases will allow more frequent rebases to newer versions and allow users to test newer kexec-tools easily. Thanks to Simon that he has agreed to release kexec-tools every alternate kernel release (roughly every 6 months). W.r.t syncing on supporting same kexec-tools release, I am not sure how will that work. Every distribution will have its own release schedule. And most likely they will rebease to newer version when window for next release opens so that it can get maximum testing time.
