I sympathize with your exasperation. I am a 
longtime fedora and foss consumer and fedora 
tester -- when I am not so stubborn as not to 
submit a bug report ;-)

It appears to me that your concerns are ones 
regarding software programming, not regarding 
packaging.

It seems that the ball is now rolling. Hopefully, 
it will roll in such a way as to satisfy all our 
needs and expectations.

Personally, I had hoped that new 
packages/releases would end up in updates-testing 
sooner, circumventing kde-redhat, but, if I 
understand all that has been written recently, 
there will still be kde-redhat for the newest 
releases, and also, as I upgrade to the latest 
release the day it comes out -- usually as soon 
as the alpha comes out, so I will likely still be 
accessing the latest as soon as it becomes 
available.

If things end up moving too slowly, there will 
likely be a packager somewhere who will set up a 
new repo, so all is not lost. Hopefully, fedora 
will remain that packager, as it would be best to 
keep things under one hood for compatibility's 
sake (remember what it was like when Dag was 
packaging, too, and the conflict nightmare we 
went through?).
