for VideoLAN you can always change to http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/11.3 which is built against factory (there might be short sync
issues, but they are normally resolved rather quick. )

but yes, I should have stated it differently: disable every repo that is not explicitly built for Factory.

the point of using Factory if recognizing errors and reporting bugs early on, isn't it? This requires that people actually USE Factory in it's entire
form. Just imagine users not updating the kernel because a random KMP is not available. Then try to detect any regression in the kernel before release
dates... sounds horrible.
