I think he just criticized OpenSUSE policy. KDE devs may say whatever they want, such as 'stop whinning' or 'eat it' or 'pay for functions you want' or whatever. OpenSUSE on the other hand declared their interntion to hear the users.
Why did they not listen? Resources are limited, so one had to decide whether to support KDE3 or KDE4. KDE4 has a growing community that e.g. runs the UNSTABLE repo and the Community repos. So if KDE3 had still a similar community it could run a KDE3 repo which is a lot less work than running UNSTABLE. As I stated earlier, nobody is holding the KDE3 community back, they can maintain their their repo until the end of time, if they are willing to invest. openSUSE has to focus, it chose to focus on the future and maintainable code.
