We 'teach' new users to stick to the distribution repos ( + Packman for desktops ). Adding home:/ , devel:/ and/or openSUSE_Not_The_Running_Version is completely the opposite. In the forums we're ( as an almost daily routine ) dealing with people getting in trouble by mixing/adding repos. IMHO we should not propagate such 'solutions'.
I completely unterstand the motivation. But very often it is not possible to run without non-standard repos, that is just reality. Be it some harware that needs a newer kernel or libs that need special compile time settings or versions of software not in the standard repo. If you answer those people with a 'no solution, live with it' they probably leave disappointed.
So a clear warning 'no blind copy-paste! Only do if you *know* what this does' is OK. A ban of even mentioning such solutions is not (IMVHO).
Yes, I'm also using openSUSE 13.1 on many systems with 42.2:Update repo to get a newer Kernel. There are no problems.
Many of the really-valuable tips I get from this forum are in the !!! category. Without them it would be a much more dull place here....
