Why not just have a repository that always contains the latest stable KDE version? This would be easier for users, and would be necessary anyway if opensuse-KDE is going to participate in the tumbleweed project.
Whenever a new version of kde got pushed into kde:distro:factory people complained about the 'sudden' change which broke their system, I wonder what would happen if KR45 would be named KR4x already and get 4.6 once it is released, the user comments will propably look the same. So wait for 4.x.1 and hope it will be more stable? I say let people throw the switch themself, this should make it clear who took the decision to update. Problem is using KR4x would make it easy to add as target for KDE:Extra and it's buddies.
Considering the overlap between the KRxy repos and what is needed for tumbleweed, I think working out how tumbleweed is going to be handled now would be better than setting up a KR46 repo only to shut it down again later if you start trying to support tumbleweed. It would be considerably less confusing to users that way. KR45 can then be quietly disabled once 4.6 is released, as planned.

A proposal for naming:
Preface: x.y - stable release, x.y-1 - Last stable release.
KDE:Release:Last - If you want to keep your system unchanged after a final x.y Release from upstream, plus home for the update-releases x.y-1.z
KDE:Release:Stable - Stable release including all update-releases x.y.z
KDE:Release:Next - WIP (work in progress) snapshots, alphas. betas, RCs for the next x.y+1 release.
Please calm down we already have a ton of repos ;-) These will clash with the KDE:Distro:(Stable|Factory) repos and create more confusion. Keeping the KR4x names is precise and easy to understand
And last but not least a warning about Stable-Releases (update-releases would be nice) on the opensuse-kde - list.
This way tumbleweed could link to KDE:Release:Stable without trouble.
Another question: the normal target-archs are oss11.2 oss11.3 (oss11.4) factory should proj-tumbleweed become such an arch to? What about proj evergreen?
Javier decided to keep building kr45 for 11.1, so you see as long as someone wants to do the job it will get done. And there is currently no plan for tumbleweed yet, for the whole 4.x cycle there was a place to get something at least close to the current upstream stable release in OBS so I am sure there will be something to push to tumbleweed on demand.
