Tell you what: You get RHEL to include it and I'll push SUSE

Version numbers mean nothing in the enterprise world. To be precise,
what we have on RHEL6.5 is called sssd-1.9.2-129.el6 but in reality it's
upstream 1.9.6, just with patches applied on top of 1.9.2 tarball
instead of consuming the whole thing.
The way I patch distribution packages is usually one bump of the release
number (that's 129 now) per fix, one fix may contain multiple patches.
So the 6.5 packages addressed 129 issues on top of 1.9.2
There may be more chance of a change with SLES 12 although
it is likely based on opensuse and as you say that has not gotten there yet.
I think my point here is that Enterprise versions of Linux are hard to get changed.
Cheers,
Greg
