Same as with Contrib: I'm neither willing to live with an outdated version just
for the sake of it nor do I have the time and the knowledge to backport
security fixes.
OTOH I would love to see some "Utilities" repository on OBS for small command
line utilities so several CLI apps that are now maintained in various homes can
be moved there (like ext3grep).
According to darix it should go into the "filesystems" repo but adding that
might cause other issues since zypp probably would / could update several other
core components thanks to bug #503276 so that weren't "optimal" either.
Nevertheless, its development didn't move that much in the past months so feel
free to take it from my home (since it's the current release) if you are
willing to maintain while complying with necessary standards.
