As i had said right form the start the method of release was wrong .
That's a decision of the KDE team and with KDE3 not being maintained much any more, openSUSE can only follow the lead of that KDE team. Take any KDE release decisions up with the KDE team, please, and not with the openSUSE team that can't do much about them (and no, shipping a basically unmaintained release branch isn't an option, but I guess the openSUSE managers would be willing to discuss if you can organize permanently ongoing maintenance of the KDE3 branch, and esp. their OBS packages).
Do you not think that some of these so called features should maybe have NOT been included to start with when they were/are so bug ridden .
Factory isn't there for not taking new stuff and being stable as a rock, it's there for getting the development code to a number of people who can go and test them, so that exactly those problems can be found, reported and fixed before shipping a final openSUSE release. And the milestones are not releases, they are just checkpoints in the development of the next release, AFAIK they undergo no testing other than the whole collection of packages included does actually build and probably that all package dependencies can be satisfied (which isn't even guaranteed in normal Factory, as development code can't guarantee anything). Factory is basically what "nightly builds" are here at Mozilla, just snapshots of development, made available for testing, but without much testing before they are made available. At SeaMonkey, we warn people "that nightly builds are development software, and there is no guarantee that they won't fry your processor, insult your mother, or cause you to break out in a nasty rash". I think they same can and probably should be said for Factory. ;-) Note that all I'm saying here is to be taken with a grain of salt, I'm "only" the project coordinator of SeaMonkey in the Mozilla project, I'm not in any way related to openSUSE development or its project management.
