Yes, this information might not be widespread yet, as it was only introduced 
yesterday, but there are plenty of home:foobar:Factory repositories now in the 
buildservice, where foobar is a novell employed package maintainer and the 
project contains the packages he's responsible for (according to our package 
maintenance map). 

Thats the main reason why we used the (otherwise a bit confusing) :Factory 
name here: because it contains the packages, we, the kde-maintainers@ group, 
maintain for SUSE. And it is the state that is supposed to be merged into 
factory in regular intervals). Hence the name. Once you know the scheme above, 
I assume you agree that this is the best name possible. 

Greetings,
Dirk
