while we're at it, why not create another 5 repositories for KDE4? Desktop,
Extra, Playground, and Community is not enough to fully confuse users where
to get packages from.

You seemed to miss the point that Extra-apps is being phased out. Meaning the
number of repos remains the same, and this change can only be positive for
users and packagers alike.

However maybe now is a good time to plan further cleanup. Since soon many
users will want to fiddle with their repos anyway to remain on 4.2.x when
4.3beta moves to factory.

Here's what I suggest:
* Drop the KDE4: part and the now/soon redundant :Desktop part.
* Merge kde4:community into (kde3) community
* Use Backports for KDE4 apps as well

For 11.1 that would leave us with the following:

"Desktops"
/KDE:/STABLE:/openSUSE_11.1/ (novell only)
/KDE:/Factory:/openSUSE_11.1/ (novell only)
KDE:/UNSTABLE:/openSUSE_11.1/ (novell only)
/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.1/ (novell only)

"Add-ons"
/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_11.1/ (novell only?)
/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_11.1/ (anybody)
/KDE:/Playground/openSUSE_11.1/ (anybody)
