Find some large organization, preferably with a service contract, and have an employee affected by this issue raise it with human resources in a timely manner to avoid future inconvenience.
For example, I think the city of Munich chose to run Linux, supplied by Suse and IBM.
That information is _way_ outdated. Back then, the SuSE and IBM salespeople and consultants did a great job to convince the officials of the city of Munich of the benefits of Linux. For quite some time, it looked as if they'd won that contract. But then, the city of Munich decided to make their own Linux distribution based on Debian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limux So even if that convoluted plot worked (remember, this is not the US where you can sue everbody for whatever insane reason and expect to wind insane amounts of money), try pulling that stunt on Debian...
I guess there's a fair chance Munich has at least one employee who uses Sticky Keys and I guess neither IBM nor Suse would want to lose the account when 11.2 comes out.
Nice try.
P.S. I am all in favour of getting all the functionality of KDE 3.x back into
KDE 4.x.
