I understand the "question" wasn't the period, but what. Only security 
patches is/was the SUSE policy for many years. Has this changed, and it 
includes non security related bugs? What is the policy to decide which 
bugs are "repaired"?

Usually, yes, but 11.1 got out with so many flaws that an effort to 
"polish" the quality of a release is the proper thing to do.

I'm in favor of clearing all known bugs in software before going ahead to 
a new version (unless agreed not to with "client"). This is not what 
industry does, but it is my policy.
