It depends. Even in the extreme worst case scenario we experienced last 
week with the horde servers unavailable, the recent Horde4 packages were 
available about as fast as you would have downloaded them after reading 
the announce mail. And this was with OpenBuildservice having a severe 
damage and rebuilding its archives from sources completely. However, 
while we even ship most recent horde3+imp+dimp for openSUSE 11.4 out of 
security considerations, I only submit regular bugfix releases to the 
server:php:applications repository, subsequently to factory and to the 
latest stable release (12.1 as of now). All currently maintained older 
versions will only receive critical bugfixes for currently supported 
horde versions (like latest mozilla breaking) and any security patches 
available. This is due to time constraints. I haven't scripted this yet.

OpenSUSE 12.1 was the last revision to ship horde3. As I expect it to 
EOL by April 2012 I have removed it from factory. It won't ship on 12.2. 
After a grace period when 12.1 runs out of support, all things horde3 
will be removed from server:php:applications, too. Horde 3 was a fine 
and long-running product but I'm not supporting bitrot.
