But when it comes to keeping my packages up-to-date, it isn't really a
matter of upstream vs. openSUSE, it is a matter of me alone vs.
openSUSE including me.  In my experience this tends to result in the
packages I need being kept more up-to-date than if I had to handle it
all completely by myself.
