I think they'll be out with a new distro release in about
a year...(yes, I can probably build my own...like I have
to with a growing body of Software)
This is openSUSE specific.
When you've built your own version with a patch for a problem,
nothing prevents you from simply creating a submit request for
that patch on OBS to "Base:System/grep", and maybe even creating
a maintenance request for "openSUSE:13.2/grep". Get involved.

stop, 'rm -rf .' is a completely different story - your bug report
was about 'grep -P' (for which the bug report is OT on the coreutils
mailing list btw.).
Having your own (probably non-generally wanted) patches in your own
OBS project is perfect. I was just talking about submitting the
patch for the non-utf8 issue (for which I personally didn't check
whether it is already included downstreams).
Have a nice day,
