I've just grabbed OpenSUSE 13.2 net install ISO and started installation on VM to check. There was choice of Gnome, KDE and others. Choosing KDE did result in kde packages being installed with what seems to be KDE 4.14. So, maybe they do *not* offer it as an alternative, because it is their main choice ? I will finish the installation anyway to see If maybe this is some legacy packages, and report if there will be Plasma 5 there after installation. This may offer some people (me included) an alternative, as for now I will not upgrade to F22 on my work machines. Should F24 or F25 prove to be unusable to me from business perspective, I will look at another distro to use in work, and use Fedora only on non critical systems. BTW, OpenSUSE 13.1 is an evergreen release, which means longer support period provided by OpenSUSE community. So it is safe to say that KDE4 in it will be stable until November 2016.
