This really was a huge help mate. I just wanted to be able to measure
the amount of maintenance work.

SuSE indeed *does* release Security Updates (we're quite firm in using
SuSE Linux ;-) ).
They do *not* release Version-Updates, they just do patches.
Reagarding Security Focus, I conclude, that we are able to maintain SM
in our normal maintenance circle, and only skip this one, if there is a
critical vulnerability.
