A possible solution -- creating of your own respin and support the parallel branches of packages that you corrected, before fixing them by the TUV. For example, in our SL respin -- NauLinux we supported our own branches of kernel and Evolution (corresponded to upstream updates) about half a year until TUV repaired the bugs which we described in RH bugzilla, just because it was important for our users.
