I would also add to Stanislav Brabec (the NUT Suse maintainer for
years) is part of the NUT team, is pro active in updating (modulo the
above rules) and is following more closely the update cycle (even more
than ... hem Debian for example!)

as a side note, Arjen has just done (yesterday) the final removal of
the cyberpower driver from the NUT trunk...

cheers,
Arnaud
