I think, the resources should be better used for Factory. The most users I 
know, who don't use KDE:KDE4:Factory, are happy with their KDE 4.1.3. All 
others can use KDE:KDE4:Factory, because when they always want to have the 
newest KDE, they also want KDE 4.3, when it is in a usable state.

I do not know it, but I think, that KDE 4.2.2 will be not too short in 
KDE:KDE4:Factory, because it seems to me that it does not make many sense, to 
adopt a KDE 4.3 Alpha to openSUSE.

Best greetings
