[6] states:
=================================================================
....  KDE3 packages will be prefixed, like this “kde3-[package name].

If you want to keep using some KDE3 applications after updating - e.g.
Konversation or K3b - add the KDE3 repository for your openSUSE
version and install kde3-k3b or kde3-konversation:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/
=================================================================

Question about KDE 3.5.x  (using openSUSE 11.1) -

For KDE 3.5.10, what about the repositories mentioned here:
http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories#KDE_3.5.x ?

Can they be kept/added (will they also be updated correspondingly ?),
in addition to 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.1/
?
