For those who need to get work done in "KDE", whatever that means any more, there are options: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/FedoraInstall (evolved KDE3 fork for Fedora 21, maybe already or soon in F22) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_13.2/ (extra KDE3 packages beyond those KDE3 in the main openSUSE latest "release" repos) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Factory/ (aka Tumbleweed, openSUSE's "rolling release", currently on kernel 4.0.5 about to goto 4.1, also has retained KDE3 as an option in its main repos that can be installed alongside Plasma5) http://www.mageia.org/en/ (freshly released with 3.19.8 kernel and KDE4) http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=x&f=2 (presumably, CentOS has not yet and won't soon "upgrade" to v5) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
