 weeks before sage 4.5.2 was released, over a month and a half before
 4.5.3.
 > Unfortunately, the ticket hadn't been set to "needs review", there are
 apparently only a few Sage ''developers'' dealing with OpenSuSE,

 That indicates that something is wrong with the patch handling process.
 It is one thing if developers do not fix a problem because they cannot
 reproduce it.  But the patch was available and just sat here.  Further, it
 is a patch for a "major" issue.  Shouldn't such patches receive particular
 attention from developers?

 Yes, that is exactly the problem.  Why did did it take this long for such
 a simple patch for a major issue to receive any attention?  If I hadn't
 posted the comment, how long would it have taken for developers to act on
 it?
