Personally I can live with custom packages for my own deployment and will simply stop contributing then.
I don't get your argument. Even if we ship 3.0.9 now in a few months upstream will say "it's pretty stupid to use 3.0.9". How is that different to every normal openSUSE release? If it really is "stupid" in the end, then SLE and also Leap needs to act anyway. And for those who want to be always up to date there is Tumbleweed and OBS. Also why do you want to stop contributing? There is still Tumbleweed exactly matching your expectations AFAICS.
Anyway, even with latest freeradius-server in Leap it is still possible that somebody (bugowner) would have to backport fix from upstream master - and as you already said, you are willing to do only version bumps.
This unnecessarily eats up SuSE developer resources without actually gaining "stability".
So now you are actually questioning the whole of SLE? I have no real idea about SUSE's success with SLE but apparently they are fine with that approach to invest developer time to maintain 3.0.3 at this moment.
