The issue I see with such things (dropping from distribution and maintaining in buildservice only) is a quality one.
Generally a package from the official distribution is trusted because it maintains a certain quality standard (in most cases) because it is (should be) more tested from Novell and the community in theory while that might be not true for every single package.
There are for sure packages in the buildservice which meet the same quality standard and testing level but at the moment there is no way to know that for the normal user.
I agree however, having some fast evolving project in distribution may also be very painfull and time-demanding as we have to provide (i.e. backport) security bugfixes for product lifetime (currently 2y for OpenSuSE) - not that I strictly refuse want to do that, yet it's an add-on which isn't used very often.
