You omit one word from what I said: "available from SuSE". That is critical to my statement. Not _any_ patches, but those provided by SuSE, ie, the official patches, which are only security patches. I never recommended to apply any patch uncritically.
True, I did - to underline that to me it doesn't really matter where the patches come from. I think all patches need to be carefully selected and carefully applied. But obviously for a home-system, it matters little. I think I just jumped on your blanket statement about patches and didn't bother realising that the OP was in a different environment to mine. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.ch/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
