I understand the "question" wasn't the period, but what. Only security patches is/was the SUSE policy for many years. Has this changed, and it includes non security related bugs?
It never was true. Just look at the 11.0 updates: 8 CATEGORY: update stack 2 CATEGORY: optional 113 CATEGORY: recommended 234 CATEGORY: security It's true that the majority of updates are security updates, but more than 30% are bugfixes.
What is the policy to decide which bugs are "repaired"?
It's decided by the maintenance team an a case by case basis. It depends on the severity of the bug, how complex the fix is, if it would be extra work to create a fix for an old distributions and other things. It also depends on when the last update was released, people would complain if we release a kernel update every week.
