Please keep KDE3 as an option. I'll help to fix the build failures, there are only a handful of them and mostly trivial. It would be sad to drop a whole DE just because of that.
David,
As long as people take care of the failures in a reasonable time, I'm
fine with keeping it around... if stuff is not maintained, it's thrown
out.. if it fails for several weeks, when not even mails to the
maintainers help, I dare to consider it unmaintained.
Hence: if somebody submits fixes to keep it, fine - then we see some
need to keep it - any other case means 'bye bye'.
What timeframe do you consider realistic to submit fixes for those
packages?
