the KDE 3 vs 4 discussion is a huge waste of time. About as usuless as the 
GNOME vs KDE debate.  IF we'd succeed in pestering Ilya away from 
maintaining KDE 3, he surely won't be helping on KDE 4 - we'd just loose a 
piece of software which is still used by quite a number of users*.

Nobody wins. So can we stop the loose-loose game here?

over 12 million downloads per 3 weeks.
