Further on, I trust Fedora to build quality packages and timely fix security issues. I don't really know if I can put the same trust in the guys from kde-redhat.
This is FUD in its best form. I assume that you don't trust fedora.us either then, since Rex Dieter has some packages there. Also you Rex tried to push all the packages to fedora.us (Extras some day).
Regarding the response to problems Rex is one of the more responsive packagers I have seen, if there is a problem he answers the same day, testing and applying patches to fix any possible security problem. He tracks the upstream channels and during the last two years using packages from his repository I have never seen other behaviour that could be described as less than professional.
I would not advise anyone to download random packages from the net and installing them without trusting the packagers. The problem, at least to me, is that your sentence seems to imply more than that. And that is simply not true.
Sorry. I definitely didn't want to say that the packagers from kde-redhat don't know what they are doing. All I wanted to say is, that I don't know if the kde-redhat packages are of good quality, because I've used them only for some days.
