Hi,

Well this is part of our "Changes to our SLE Pre-Releases” (described at https://suse.com/betaprogram/sle-beta/#themes), 
we are releasing fewer ISOs to the public (suse.com/download) but we are releasing weekly updates through our online channels (SCC). 

Our Technology Partners* can even get access to weekly isos that we call “snapshot”, so they can test their submission.

So as of now kernel-default-5.3.18-20.4.x86_64.rpm is only available through our online channels, the Public Release Candidate 2 will stick with 5.3.18-19.1, and the next time we will update the “public beta iso” will be for Public Gold Master Candidate — June 15, 2020.

Of course, rest assured that: 
1- No one is left over, all changes are provided in our online channels or in the next public ISO refresh,
2- During the RC phase, we are very careful on what is changed,
3- You can check packages changelogs to verify what have changed,

Again we want to hear any feedback on this "Changes to our SLE Pre-Releases”, especially since we are closer and closer to the end of 15SP2 beta program and 
we are already starting to talk about** 15SP3 Beta Program internally,

I’m at your disposal,

Regards,

* Partners that contribute to SLE with their own codes/submissions.
* or should I say whispering maybe?! I mean it’s still a bit early
