Those users are the ones that file bugs against KDE and Gnome, so that you get a better version next time you upgrade and even more important, next time SuSE releases a product with KDE or Gnome in it. Not everybody likes to install alphas or betas, especially not if they are buggy as the 10.1 ones, so supplementary is the best way to help improve the software and get bugfix versions oneself. You cannot expect people to compile KDE/Gnome themselves just because they want to help making them better products.
I'm not against such thing, but I don't want it become a priority against stability.
Assuming that supplementary is not seen as stable (otherwise there would be no reason against it) and after that zen-thingy being released in a "stable" SuSE release, some time has to pass before anyone can claim that SuSE only releases stable packages and thus one should not use supp. supplementary KDE is more stable than the package-management was when being released, just have a look at all the threads!
to have the last to notch, use factory, simply.
One does not have to go to the extremes when arguing against something, it does not look very good. Otherwise people could tell you to stick with debian stable, because that would be really stable. Sven
