The transition from KDE3 to KDE4 is still a bit confusing :-)

It has been advised to use KDE4:Factory for better usability since 
KDE 4.1 is lacking some features KDE 4.2 has. Nonetheless 
KDE4:Factory isn't that stable KDE4:Stable is, I guess. 

So should I switch from KDE4:Factory to KDE 4.2 repo to regain 
stability when that repo appears? When will it appear?

Kind regards
Willi
