Personally, I agree there are a few "hard bugs" in KDE sc 4.11 that do make remaining there for some a hard choice. Like I gather so many others, I had migrated to KDE:current initially for this reason. However, I also understand the reasoning behind keeping 13.1 on a stable and original baseline release for long term evergreen support. I certainly would like to see KDE:current with at least 4.13 continue for 13.1 for evergreen though...
and - there is an option to build against e.g. repository=DISCONTINUED_openSUSE_11.3_Update_standard would that be an option for KDE:current? Cheers/Axel

Hi Why don't you add the KDE:current repo to be update?
Warning: When 13.1 goes onto Evergreen, people using it might need to revert to the standard 13.1, because the "KDE:current" repo will probably disappear for 13.1. At least, it happened for 11.4 Evergreen.
And same for xfce, gnome, etc. extra repos.
Would people use Evergreen and newer DEs? If so, I bet you can convince the devs to keep a 13.1 build going until the end of Evergreen. (3 years, right?)
Dunno.
We did not convince them with 11.4 to even "not delete" the repos, leave them frozen. Keep the build? No way.
Notice that it is not about using the newest DEs available during the extended maintenance period Evergreen provides. It is about keeping the same advanced version that was used during the normal maintenance period of the distro.
Suppose there is a bug somewhere in 11.4 that blocks you (there was, past tense, of course). It is not upgraded on the standard repo, but it is in one of the advanced kde, gnome, xfce repos, whatever. So you use it. After a year, 11.4 goes evergreen... and that repo is deleted. So those packages go red in YaST.
If you need to reinstall, or install another machine, add an extra component... you can not.
It is just a word of caution.
