As mentioned during the meeting I am all for having KR46 if there are people who are willing to maintain it. The reason is first of all naming. The KRxy repos are actually the (only) repos which mediate their content in an obvious manner. There is no need to have a wiki page in order to explain their content. Everybody that knows that KR45 contains KDE 4.5 will also know where to look for KDE 4.6. And having enabled that repo one will only get that KDE version and never be surprised by a major version change.
Why not just have a repository that always contains the latest stable KDE version? This would be easier for users, and would be necessary anyway if opensuse-KDE is going to participate in the tumbleweed project.
Considering the overlap between the KRxy repos and what is needed for tumbleweed, I think working out how tumbleweed is going to be handled now would be better than setting up a KR46 repo only to shut it down again later if you start trying to support tumbleweed. It would be considerably less confusing to users that way. KR45 can then be quietly disabled once 4.6 is released, as planned.

A proposal for naming: Preface: x.y - stable release, x.y-1 - Last stable release. KDE:Release:Last - If you want to keep your system unchanged after a final x.y Release from upstream, plus home for the update-releases x.y-1.z KDE:Release:Stable - Stable release including all update-releases x.y.z KDE:Release:Next - WIP (work in progress) snapshots, alphas. betas, RCs for the next x.y+1 release. And last but not least a warning about Stable-Releases (update-releases would be nice) on the opensuse-kde - list. This way tumbleweed could link to KDE:Release:Stable without trouble. Another question: the normal target-archs are oss11.2 oss11.3 (oss11.4) factory should proj-tumbleweed become such an arch to? What about proj evergreen?
