The problem is that assumption (that 11.2 will damage existing KDE3 installation) is pulled out of thin air. The installer can be designed to refuse to update (upgrade) system without explicit user permission.
I'm afraid that the current status is that 11.2 will have no kde3, and thus, when upgrading will simply upgrade kde3 to 4. The end result if the user had both (or only kde3), is that he will then have only kde4. It would be a good idea to offer leave kde3 install and config files intact (not upgraded), while perhaps having an option (if possible) to copy over kde3 config to a new kde4 config when users start kde4 the first time. I don't know if leaving kde3 intact is even possible, but it is the way to go if the user intends to keep kde3 updated via OBS; as it is now, I believe the route would be, first upgrade system, kde3 disappears, then add repo, install kde3 again. Not too bad if the user configuration does not disappears in the process. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
