Because it would be more than a little while longer. Every day spent |
| 9 |
maintaining KDE3 is a day lost to KDE4, the priority was to get KDE4 |

stable and usable, KDE3 was fine as it was. |

The other answers is "they didn't want to". KDE developers are either |
| 13 |
volunteers, doing what they want because they can, and what they want is |
| 14 |
working on neat stuff for the next release, not old code that is close to |
| 15 |
EOL. Or they are employed by the likes of distro makers, who also want |
| 16 |
the latest stuff for their products. |
