The KDE repo tends to have stuff before it gets to the "official" Fedora
repos, e.g. kde-testing has had 4.3 for a while, but it appeared on
updates-testing only yesterday (note that it's the same set of RPMs).
This is useful for people interested in getting their hands on the new
stuff and testing it without having to build it all themselves.

If you prefer to play it safe, stick to the standard updates.
