The last time I looked there I saw so many topposting and HTML postings
that I ran away. As long as the people agree that this is allowed (either
by really allowing it, or by not doing anything about it) I won't go
there.

Security fixes are done. Others are not done. There will be some
exeptions, but it is a pretty good rule of thumb. This has been explained
a few times already. Also the idea why has been explained.

Unless they are security fixes, they won;t be done. e.g. the slower
transfer rate for USB in 10.0 has a solution, yet as it is not a security
issue, it won't be implemented.

Sure you can. An example:
USB Speed: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105871 comments 19,
41 and 50-53
People have been pointed there and have solved their issue.

Indeed some are not able to use Bugzilla (or don't want to) they will have
to ask solutions in suse-linux-e. They are asking for solutions. To me
they are not reporting bugs and that was what you were talking about.

Aside from Most Anoying Bugs? No. There are just too many.
