I think it makes sense that openSuSE focuses its resources on the CURRENT release, not a release that is sometime in the future. It also seems that by correcting bugs in the CURRENT release, the fixes can be ported/included in the future one.
Neither was the package in question installed from the current release nor will it be part of the next release, so that argument falls flat. But even if that bug was in a package which was part of an openSUSE release, it is still up to the devs to decide whether the costs outweigh the benefits of fixing it, since KDE3 is a dead end and that time could be spent on KDE4 which will replace it. In fact, if you stick to your own rule, KDE4 is the current and the future release (as opposed to KDE3) and hence devs should focus on it because by improving the current release of KDE4 they improve future releases of it too, which is not the case for KDE3.
