So the problem is not that SUSE backports fixes or that there is no
increase in version. The problem is that communication about what YOU
does must be improved.
Whjile at it, it should also be explained what the consequences are when
you do an external update instead of using YOU. e.g. people who now read
the 1.5.0.1 to 0.2 thing might not read it the next time.
No idea how to make this clear to end-users. There was a time you could
wack them over the head with the two manuals. ;-)
Seriouly, an explanation of what happens when not using it and what
happens if you use it should be (more?) visably explained.
