And you believe that for kde based decisions that the other distros will be different? :^)
it's an ever changing world.
One thing that's often forgotten is that change does not always mean better.
Change means: difference If you like it or not, has nother to do with being better or not.
If, for one reason, you decide KDE-3.5 is "better", no one will stop you from becoming an additional maintainer for kde-3.5 for 11.3, 12.0 and so on! Wasn't that one of the pradigms of opensource: "use the Source,Luke" ;-)

In fact, with OBS as an asset the other distros don't provide, I suspect maintaining a kde 3.5 repository for opensuse would be easier than for any other major distro. If you don't try to support kde 3.5 side-by-side with kde 4.3, it doesn't seem it should be that hard to do for 11.2. (just get the old kde 3.5 source, specfiles,etc from 10.3 or whenever and create a OBS repository.) Factory (11.2) is far enough along that a project to do that could start now. No need to wait. All you need is the volunteers to do it. (Don't count me in.)
