For leaf packages, from what i see this is happening already through the normal update channel. Even evergreen has done version updates, not just backports.

Evergreen is not on my radar and doing major upgrades would contradict what I thought it was about. So no idea about them.

And the big kde update for 12.2 that just went out shows an obvious willingness to do even very large bugfix updates.

This only happened because it was meant to go into 12.2 but missed the schedule and it was only meant to go into 12.2 because 12.2 was delayed.

So i'm not sure that your complaint is actually valid. It seems to describe the situation 2 or 3 years ago, not today.

12.2 shipped an outdated version of KDE, i.e. KDE 4.8. Instead it should have shipped KDE 4.9.0 and offer the upstream bugfix releases through 12.2's lifecycle. I'm pretty sure that 12.1 did not receive the latest minor bugfix release for the KDE version it shipped. Hence I'm pretty sure it is valid for KDE that openSUSE does not ship upstream stable but whatever it claims to be stable. This results in outdated versions with lots of bugfixes not shipped to the user. In fact, there will be no openSUSE release with official KDE 4.9 support. I hope LO will get an update to 3.6 since 3.5 was outdated before the 12.2 release already as well.
