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?

Actually i am a bit surprised. Because from earlier discussion i was under the 
impression that the Plan was to go with KDE4 in 11.0  despite it not being 
feature complete and then give an easy upgrade path for 4.1 when it is 
released. So apparently this has changed now. Why? 

I am thinking that a lot of people using KDE4.0  want to upgrade to 4.1 when it 
is released, so in my opinion  it would be appropriate to put a bit of effort 
into making sure it works in 11.0 after it is released. Because most users are 
not able to judge the risk of using the 11.1 Factory repo. 

If I'm wrong please correct me. 

Stefan
