Stable refers to opensuse, it contains the KDE version that the last stable 
opensuse release shipped. So currently it is 4.1.3, since 11.1 shipped that 
version and it will not change. It will only get security patches and maybe 
for some really grave bugs, if there are any. openSUSE never supplied a new 
version via YOU and STABLE is basically 11.1+YOU updates.

If KDE 4.1 suits you, do not use any repo, but stick with the packages shipped 
with 11.1. If you want new features, you would not be interested in another 
KDE 4.1 version anyway, hence use the Factory: repo, which contains KDE 4.2.
