that back door is called PackageHub ;) https://packagehub.suse.com/

KDE is there for SLE 12 and I would be _very_ surprised if the collaboration between the openSUSE community &
SUSE behind packagehub doesn't result in KDE for SLE 15 also

such packages are unsupported, of course, but do not compromise your support of the rest of your SLE system.

So if you haven't had enough with SLES 15 be a hobby Beta with LEAP 15. For those missing your favorite DM the KDE on LEAP 15 is good , I'm sure Gnome is there too... I have been running with Windows 10 Beta's for the past couple of years and with RS4 coming out very soon, it good to see KDE can compete with what is good crisp pictures on Win 10 RS4.
