If you still don't understand the quite simple distinction between STABLE, 
Factory and Unstable repos - after all the explanations on the mailinglist  
and wiki page, how should anyone further discussion help you?

And regular users don't have this problem - cuz they don't fsck with it. MS 
Windows users don't upgrade their DE every few months, Mac OSX users don't do 
it, GNOME users don't do it (cuz backporting new GNOME versions isn't feasible 
anyway) - and apart from a small segment of version whores - KDE 4.3.x users 
don't do it either. 

Cuz there's no need to - not anymore - in 4.0 and 4.1 days it might have made 
some sense for casual users, but not anymore. Now it only makes sense if 
you're a fanboy or an enthusiast or wish to help test stuff. And if you're in 
these categories of users you should be able to manage some repos and 
packages.

If you want help cleaning your repos list, post your 'zypper lr -d' here.
