Why should that matter when the 6 months out of support release 12.2 is still provided, and 13.1 is scheduled to replace 11.4 as the extended support release before the year is out?

It seems like this continued release lag would be inducement to continue an unfortunate duplication of effort keeping KDE3 alive that would seem better spent on TDE. AFAICT, KDE3 on openSUSE is a one person show. Would that one contributor give up or otherwise disappear, KDE would really be stone dead, as the KDE4 people would like, on the "current" openSUSE release. I can't justify spending time to provide any input to the TDE development cycle because 12.2 is absolutely too old, and 12.3 is too old to be bothered wasting time on 5 months from EOL and 7 months after the unleashing of its successor. Also, who would bother spending to try to tell if one is preferable to the other without being able to run both on a long-current release instead of a relative antique? I can certainly live without TDE personally, having gotten by on KDE3 since its birth, but it puzzles me the preference of the deceased 12.2 over current 13.1 in the TDE repos. It's disappointing to not be able to know what I may be missing without spending a dubiously worthwhile effort to find out. Also FWIW, openSUSE Factory is shaping up as a rolling release, meaning even though 13.1 is current and will be the semi-official LTS before very long, proportionally more openSUSE users will surely be using the new Factory as a latest/current release instead of the official latest, and thus shut out of TDE on their distro of choice as long as the current availability situation remains unchanged. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
