it hasn't really changed. we can still move the KDE 4.1.0 final packages into 
KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop, so this is according to the original plans. Note that 
this plan wasn't decided on, it was just one out of many possible ways to go. 

However, we haven't decided yet if we want to move the KDE 4.1.0 packages into 
STABLE. It would have one advantage: one repository less to maintain with the 
same  amount of people (which is good). It also has disadvantages: online 
updates for 11.0 users are not tested anymore.

They certainly can do that, all they have to do is to add the buildservice 
repository.

Thats exactly what we're doing

Then we need proper communication on that issue :)
