Correct, no stable monthly version. Just install stable and zypper dup.

You could put it like that, or just say "I used kickstarter to build a new 
Plasma Active image". Apart from that, it's Open Build Service (no SUSE in the 
name, though it has been developed at SUSE). We've just moved repositories 
away from Meego infrastructure, because that's going to be shut down.

We've needed some time to fix important bugs. What you're running basically 
*is* the pre-version, it is pretty close to what's becoming Plasma Active 4. 
We're not doing a strictly time-based cycle.

Ask lbt on #mer on irc.freenode.net.
