As a lowly user, I would like to keep KDE 3.5.* for quite a while and |
| 20 |
will most likely not switch until at least 4.3 or better is out. Even |
| 21 |
that mostly depends on how many "issues" are still left out there. |

I realize that I'm not behind the scenes doing the work to keep both |
| 24 |
maintained but they are going to both be maintained anyway and leaving |
| 25 |
it like it is has worked fine so far. Unless there is some requirement |
| 26 |
upstream, I would prefer it be like it is so that we can still choose. |
| 27 |
I will most likely maintain both KDE 3 and KDE 4 until things get sorted |
| 28 |
out and I make sure everything works. |

Nothing worse than upgrading, realizing that the new version isn't ready |
| 31 |
for my needs yet and having to recompile KDE all over again. Having |
| 32 |
both would be really nice. |
