The challenge is just to make anyone care about KDS for the two month freeze period every eight (12?) months. Of course caring about KDS would also imply caring about what's best for the openSUSE project, the openSUSE distribution, KDE and end users more than version numbers, so it's an uhill battle.
Should only be one month according to the original 12.2 cycle: http://turing.suse.de/~coolo/opensuse_12.2/ And unless that period straddles an upstream .y release, it should be the same cherrypicking upstream patches work that KR49 will be doing anyway. So not so much different from just tracking upstream.
S4 "KDF might ship a beta" W4 Highly unlikely at this stage in the KDE 4 cycle, really. When we do ship KDE5 beta it will be from a different devel project, we'll keep stable KDE4 as a default.
Say 12.3 will be released in March with 4.10, there would be very little time to test 4.10 if 4.10beta wasn't allowed in KDF.
I expect the release schedule and overall strategy for 12.3 will change following the discussions on -project and at osc. But if it hypothetically didn't, comparing the 4.9 and 4.10 schedules http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.9_Release_Schedule http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.10_Release_Schedule the overlap between 4.10 beta 1 (the first one we could put in KDF) and 4.9.4 (final) is 2 1/2 weeks. We could delink KR49 early, around Nov 15, and then update to 4.9.4 directly in KR49 (the amount of changes by then is going to be modest), other suggestions? I suspect by then Sven will start finding the new stuff in 4.10 branch interesting to work on.
