AFAIR the purpose of KRx was serve users who do not want to act as testing
users. There are several reasons for this. Among them that KDF will become
unstable at some point and users will be forced to change their repos again
which they do not have to do when using KRx.
Users of KDF have to follow the news/wiki in order to know what's in KDF and
when it changes which most of them do not want to do and do not have to do
when using KRx because the name states the content – unlike KDF.
So advertising KDF instead of KRx will not result in more testers but just
more frustration and those that explicitly want to test do so and are more
willing to stay up-to-date.
KRx is meant to be stabler than KDF, so advertising a less stable repo does
not make sense IMO.
Of course one might argue that KR47 is just a copy of KDF – but that's simply
because it's actual purpose is not followed.

this morning (about 6:00 GMT) I updated from KDE:Release:47. From then
on, I could not invoke kate (from KDE4; KDE3's kate was working).
Please use KDE:Distro:Factory, its stable and serving KDE 4.7.1 now.
