Comment # 9 on bug 944714 from Dainius Masiliunas

Well, that's not how it is in Leap. You have both critical security updates and
non-critical feature updates in YOU. The fact that it's different in Tumbleweed
is unintuitive to new users, and given that the plan is to promote Tumbleweed
as an equal to Leap, I think that's a problem.

Is there a technical reason why updates to at least the openSUSE-release
package can't be also offered in YOU as recommended updates, or is it just a
matter of policy?
