Ok, I should have phrased it like this: "... we have choosen to release 
other/optional/minor updates as an exception only." However, with the 
power of the openSUSE build service, we as a community might come to the 
conclusion that it actually makes sense to create a repository with fixed 
packages that covers all those littel bugs and glitches that you find 
while using the distribution. But it should be obvious, that something 
like this needs quite an effort by the community.
