Hello,

Adrian Schroeter asked for opinions to merge KDE:Communtiy and 
KDE:KDE4:Community. See here:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2009-02/msg00119.html

My opinion to that:
Currently in KDE:Community there are pure Qt3/4 apps and KDE3 apps, 
KDE:KDE4:Community contains only KDE4 apps. If this projects become merged, 
than the new project contains many repositories with duplicated packages of 
native Qt and KDE3 apps, which don't need all the stuff from KDE4 STABLE, 
UNSTABLE and Factory. Surely, the packager could disable the native Qt apps 
and the KDE3 apps for the KDE4 STABLE, UNSTABLE and Factory repositories, but 
than the user nevertheless has to use two repositories.
There are some Qt4 apps like QStarDict, that would also or better fit into 
KDE:KDE4:Community, but that doesn't apply to all packages. (Newer versions of 
QStarDict integrate an own plasmoid.)
I think, the current situation is good for the users and good for the build 
ressources.

Best greetings
  Buschmann
