I know, as I wrote, it is not bound to this thread, just a question on what 
KDE3 people expect if they use the 11.2 DVD, because since version 4 is higher 
than 4 they will get an update of their KDE3 to 4.

It's OBS you can always use the package from your DVD.

IMHO they should not have packaged it in the first place and just pull that 
package. If the KDE3 community wants updated packages in OBS, let them package 
them, there are packaging workshops offered for those interested.
