Is that even possible? AFAIK currently Plasma Active or Plasma Desktop are 
exclusive choices as PD is not compatible with kdelibs+PA patches.
Unless something changed in the last two weeks or so, PA3 will be released 
together with PD 4.9 with both running on KF5 without requiring special 
patches.
Surely KDE upstream will concentrate on PA3, PD 4.9, and KF5, so all further 
support work would have to be needed to be done by openSUSE KDE Team.

It may be worthwhile to postpone PA as supported option to 12.3 because of 
that.

In https://kamikazow.wordpress.com/2011/12/27/very-short-4-8-first-look-from-
a-users-perspective/ I explored how I feel that Kontact handles notifications 
badly as it's often too chatty. Changing a few defaults there is not rocket 
science.
If you guys agree on the notifications aspect, I can take care about that.

IMO openSUSE 12.2 should be akin to what 10.3 was: It was released shortly 
before KDE 4.0 and delivered the best 3.5.x experience out there. It also 
handpicked a few Qt 4 developments like KDE4-based games.
In that spirit 12.2 could ship with Qt 5 and maybe even a few handpicked 
Qt5/KF5 applications.
