Version numbers exist for a reason. Opensuse's method of patching but leaving the number the same is just lazy (and dangerous).

No way.
I was under the impression that pretty much all of the standard enterprise vendors worked this same way? Eg., SLES doesn't change version numbers, but backports the patches into the baseline versions of the packages to minimize the risk of something suddenly blowing up since the requirements can't be met. And since openSuSE is basically the origination for most things SLES, why would we expect anything different? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEE7GM/Dul8WSWn72odQ1nEo4DFCIUFAlnX75UACgkQQ1nEo4DF CIUJuQf/RJ+bgZL2LVHpWBCb3cNIHn4xFmZJcUYlOB8ECRQO2uvrRqhDUdp9G+wm 95M2qGYHz2k3/Q2o6Kbk4x5ZWKkF1jss7OCVDvmB9RRNtQ0t0Mt1NaZPQX9K7nNl IL88i7Z5TO+26iwGME78amvmTK88mHVXktDfo0URSYzEmOLIKP0S3+KPIknJCXc1 fHyOVSmj5X1Xph8KoAw5l11+iWG40TXlRqLAKtyOWye7klaiE+LihLZZdi4nFmN3 yeMqDpbeco6DfpnqRoCkmwHsvMrvpIUy69YqhT/AGIxm+00lXATsP4t72z/i0YC/ 1ZfKDTsQOmzLvvoAVO6RHHM2cVgLyw== =dJG2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- N�����r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�:�{Zr�az�'z��j)h���Ǿ� ޮ�^�ˬz��
