For instance one that wants to switch from another KDE distro to avoid some bugs, will want to know which version we have, as she/he knows from kde.org where is bug resolved. Without repo that is named by version, only few KDE insiders can give that information, and that often ends in no information at all, as they are busy doing something else.
That scenario is covered by openSUSE software search.
It is not. Search will not tell you what can be mixed, and mix of incompatible repos is probably 30% of problems that users asking for help on IRC experience.
I don't subscribe to IRC but people off-list and newbies have disparaged openSuse by calling it being like "DLL Hell", and as far as I can tell it is because they have activated incompatible repos. To be honest, I've never met that problem but then (a) I make sure the repos I use are for the release I'm using and (b) I don't go hog wild adding repos. Oh, and I recognise that things like "Factory" and "Tumbleweed" are going to be unstable and incomplete. But then again I don't feel I have to be at the bleeding edge every minute of the day. -- Psst! Viral marketing works!
