I'm classifying those as "possible" because I don't know if they are significant enough to be noticed by the end-user?
Both the 3d open drivers and the KDE advancements are indeed noticable - IF you use a KDE desktop with 3D effects... If not, you won't notice much :D
It's not the first time you use KDE arguments. I'll recall you from the last Marketing meeting, when you said: "KDE would never do that, so we won't go that way" (not ipsis verbis). I'm starting to believe that there is a conflict on interests on your side.
So that's a problem we have, we have a hard time with a lack of sync between KDE and GNOME and LXDE/XFCE etc here... GNOME is about to release 3.0 but we just don't ship that. I guess our next release will ship with GNOME 3.0, will have a newer KDE too, and other cool stuff as usual - seeing the enthousiasm in the project lately (resulting in new projects like Bretzn, Tumbleweed & Evergreen) I expect more :D
GNOME upstream as asked kindly to distributions to unite on the release of GNOME3. I do support this claim from the GNOME Project, as we should provide all the support for an awesome release of gnome-shell. Nevertheless 11.4 seems to be a GNOME2.32 distro, so I would keep it that way. Additionally, isn't this a bit late to take such moves when most people are already waiting on 11.4, when some communication has been made as 11.4. You speak so highly of marketing, then tell me, what are the implications of such change and possible 'negative/positive' impacts on such a change? Maybe it's time to face openSUSE a whole and not only from the scope of KDE (which might harm us)?
p.s. This is why I feel the whole major.minor numbering scheme for software is broken, and just use 1 number for projects that I was/am in charge of naming (udev, usbutils, etc.) I think it's worked out much better that way over the long-term.
A working major.minor versioning scheme requires a purpose and active management.
