I went ahead and dropped most of kde3 from factory. The runtime needed is
still there, but the desktop won't be functional anymore and as such there
won't be any patterns offered from factory installs.

We should discuss if we want to keep it all in KDE:KDE3 and merge KDE:MIsc
and
KDE:Community in. Or we could continue the push to Contrib discussion, but
first we need people to take care of KDE3.

I'm not ready to drop KDE3 from any of my 7 existing Factory installs.
Changing from KDE3 to KDE4 is like changing from Mac OS X to Windows Vista. I
won't have time for that any time before KDE 4.3 is final.

Is there some way to lock KDE3 in place while allowing zypper up or zypper
dup to update the rest of Factory? I looked through /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, and
nothing about locking installed rpms jumped at me. There's a reference to a
locks file, but none exists, nor is there any indication what it might be for.
