This means maintaining three KDE 4 versions. KDE 4.1 in STABLE, KDE 4.2 in 
"Release" (I guess you want version updates there too) and KDE 4.3 in Factory, 
which is worked on. UNSTABLE you are lacking completely.

Given the current resources everything more than maintaining the KDE version 
released with openSUSE and a version that will be released with the next 
openSUSE is not doable. So unless you find people that maintain your "Release" 
repo, it will just suck up resources badly needed for the next openSUSE 
release.
