In the previous thread KDE 4.2 stable repo and KDE live CD respin the discussion evolved at one point to a community maintained vanilla version of KDE.
By vanilla I mean an unmodified (openSUSE branding could be optional) packages directly from the KDE release?
Is there an interest from the community for a vanilla set of KDE packages based on official KDE releases?
Who would be willing to maintain such a set of packages? Would our resources be better used to help Factory? Certainly right now it is much better to use the latest from KDE, but will it be in the future? The reason I came to the openSUSE project was because of the heavily modified KDE. If the community is using resources to package and use a vanilla KDE then what makes KDE on openSUSE so special?

I think, the resources should be better used for Factory. The most users I know, who don't use KDE:KDE4:Factory, are happy with their KDE 4.1.3. All others can use KDE:KDE4:Factory, because when they always want to have the newest KDE, they also want KDE 4.3, when it is in a usable state. I do not know it, but I think, that KDE 4.2.2 will be not too short in KDE:KDE4:Factory, because it seems to me that it does not make many sense, to adopt a KDE 4.3 Alpha to openSUSE.
