[opensuse-kde] Regarding KDE:KDE4:Playground

Hi guys,

I'm sorry for not attending yesterdays meeting but after some talk in -kde I
realized you want to replace KDE:KDE4:Playground with something like
KDE:Unstable:Playground.

IMHO that is plain wrong for two reasons:

1. The URL implies some association with :Unstable which is just wrong.
2. It is simply under the wrong namespace.

We created "KDE:Extra" for "community" maintained packages and the stuff in
:Playground is either a SVN snapshot from :Extra or :Distro:Factory. But still
it is _only_ community maintained!

IMHO the :Playground stuff should therefore be under a namespace that makes it
explicitly clear that those packages are _only_ community maintained. Further
them being bellow KDE:Unstable gives the wrong intention since those packages
have _nothing_ to do with the :Unstable project.

Could you please therefore reconsider your decision and use
"KDE:Extra:Playground" instead? This way it would be clear that anything
bellow :Extra is community maintained and :Playground speaks for itself but it
doesn't imply any relationships to :Unstable which are simply not valid.

Personally I certainly couldn't care less since I'll be able to select the
repos I need but since the purpose of all that renaming fuss is to create a
more "reasonable" layout I beg you to put the :Playground stuff bellow :Extra
since it is _only_ maintained by the community and has nothing to do with the
:Unstable repo.

Therefore please reconsider your decision.

regards,
Stephan
