With the current repo layout "Stable" means "official release by KDE" 
and "Unstable" means "KDE development version".

I also believe the gnomer repos use "stable" and "unstable" in the sense of 
what's released officially upstream or not.

So it's clear there'll be some confusion, when it's changed for KDE to mean 
stable/unstable SUSE packages.

However I agree 100% with the intentions of making it clearer to people that 
running latest KDE packages from the BS should be considered a somewhat risky 
thing, even if it's an official release by KDE. People don't get that 
packaging KDE properly is not a trivial thing. They even think Kubuntu can do 
it.

Maybe you could try and convince the gnome devs to use a similar structure?
