Indeed.  If history is any indicator, even changes in the base repos will do the same.  (recent history, even, like as in less than an hour ago.....)

Which reminds me of a question.... but which I'll ask privately.

Well, to a point I could support them myself.  It is in fact easier to roll a package set than it is to support said package set (which is why it would be for my private use, as I'm not willing at this juncture to both roll a package set *and* go back into the package set support business; been there, done that, got the bruises to show for it).  It would be an opportunity to learn more about KDE, though.  Perhaps more than I want to know.

Yep.

More than fair.  And that would be something I'd be willing to do if I do find someone else's repo that does modern KDE; if I don't have to spend the time to roll the package set, leaves more time to help support said package set.
