Well thanks for pointing out how much the situation is hurting you, I wonder 
how you can get out of bed with all these repositories around.

The repository structure has been discussed often, STABLE:, FACTORY: and 
UNSTABLE: represent the opensuse definition of releases, as explained on the 
KDE wiki page. :42 was created to give people a stable release between 11.1 
and 11.2 as 11.2 was going to be shipped with 4.3. OpenSUSE comes first, not 
delivering the latest release of KDE, that's reflected in the repository 
structure.

:43 was created because some thought 4.3.2 will be too outdated when 4.3.3 
comes around and wanted that repository, now that 11.2 will get an updated KDE 
4.3 there is no need for this repository any more.
