I disagree.

As you suggest, there is the core software,  and is also a host of 
software applications (some even have their own QA/Testing programs - 
Mozilla being a prominent example).

If that's what openSUSE does, great! But users of other distributions 
have different needs and level of knowledge. They have chosen their 
distribution/platform. Should LibO not respect that user decision?

Holding back on incorporating another software program, from my 
understanding, is done because of distribution revision testing/development.

AFAIK, some distributions (for example Debian 
stable/unstable/testing/experimental) show a tendency to not incorporate 
software major revisions (i.e. software ver x.y.z increases from 1.1.1 
to 2.0.0) . Should users be punished because the development cycles of 
the distribution and software group are different?
