No, this repo contains only the 1.0-9631. He's saying (and I agree, since it's obviously the right thing to do) that it would be nice to have the same choice of drivers as ubuntu, because these drivers are not a "one size fits all" proposition. For some cards, only the legacy driver will work, while other, newer cards will only work with the latest. Suse users are stuck with only the stable version whether it works or not, otherwise they have to do the manual download and install, and have to rebuild the driver glue after every kernel update.
