I think such an assumption is worth NIL!

The KDE team has been asking repeatedly that users report to the point
what they are missing. Users feel 'to noble' to this... as they were so
happy and glad with how KDE3 worked.
On the other hand, apparently, there are users that love kde4 the way
it is and that are interested in 'extending' it;s functionality.

I guess for all those ranters around it would have been 'easier to
accept' if the team would have said:
"Sorry, we lost interest and we abandon KDE... it's another dead
project... but HEY: all the KDE devs think the world is in need of a
good Desktop and we now start developping LDE" (L just being the next
letter in the alphabet after K)

As all the others that seriosly are interested in 'fixing what is
broken': stop ranting, create punnctual bug reports, report what feature
you are missing. There is plenty in KDE3 which nobody ever uses...
simply because it does o longer fit in the current workflows.. so WHY
should THI be re-implemented???

Think about it... then write bug reports!
