I'm in favor of B -- with a clear statement that 11.1 would be the
last release that features KDE 3.5x on "official" DVD.

Right now, while I think 4.1 is a clear improvement, it's still a
major change from 3.5x and we still see a lot of users who want to use
3.5. We ought to include 3.5.10 release as a desktop option for 11.1,
and start looking to the community to take up stewardship of KDE 3.5
packages around 11.2.

This certainly isn't the most convenient path, but I think it's the
best path for our users with 11.1.

Best,

Zonker
