The thing is that most of the people aren't quite clarified about what that
would require, since KDE3 is solid rock. For instance, what are those
"amusing things" that came up during openSUSE 11.1 development or might
come to happen in a near future given your KDE packaging experience?

Once these KDE3 lovers questions get answered I think there might be a
chance KDE3 be kept maintained by the community for a very long time.

We had to solve various dependency / conflict issues with parallel KDE3/KDE4
installation, but other than that and the occassional Hal breakage like with
every distribution update, there was no significant work put into KDE3 afaik.

Of course, tracking all the regressions by a lower level library being updated
alone is enough maintenance burden.

Dirk
