This repo is not hurting anyone if it exists for another year or even longer.
Outdated and unmaintained packages are not really something to strive after.
No, but if it moves to regular update channel, then KDS state will be irrelevant, which actually means URL can be kept just as place for README. It would be ideal if one can put in .repo file mentioned README and yast or zypper printing that out on next refresh, disable repo and offer removal. ...
Are you sure people look into the repo for a README file, even in case it fails?
In that cases helpers on IRC/ML/F will know and clear the mess, as they do now. Unlike plain users those helpers have habit of investigating URL and will spot README.
I'd say a blog on planetsuse, a post in the forums and mailinglist and be done with it.
Problem with articles placed away from software repos is that even when you know they exist it is not simple to find them and reference to user. A bit unclean directory structure on download.o.o is small price to all work that has to be done if README is missing.
