What is new is you now have at least 3 11.1 repos to build against:

DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1 DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1:Update/standard
openSUSE:Evergreen:11.1

Evergreen:11.1 being the new one that few will be familiar with.

It has a handful of packages in it that have seen security updates
since official 11.1 support was discontinued in Dec.

Note the lack of "Discontinued" in its name.

And soon there will be:
openSUSE:Evergreen:11.1:kernel-2.6.32

But it is not ready for prime time yet.
