But this is not the only example. Look at all the other names: Unstable, Stable, Playground, Factory, Update, Downdate, Sidedate, SimplyAGleamInSomeone'sEye, and the list goes on....and on.... Which is why KRxy was introduced. It's content can easily be derived from the name and will not change regarding major KDE versions. Hence I recommend to everybody using KRxy – unless one is familiar with what KDF stands for.
Although you might be right about the confusing names, what do you suggest as better naming scheme?

Why not use something which is understandable by the person in the street like, for example, Nightly (which Mozilla uses as you know), WIP (Work In Progress), Experimental, Pre-Release, Final and similar names. You could use such common names and then only have to alter the contents of a simple redirection file to take the user (ie, zypper, Yast) to the repository where 'you' can have all the weirdo names which your heart desires (such as Playground, Sandpit, Factory, Workshop, Laboratory, Unstable, Stable, whatever).
