QUESTION TO DEVELOPERS: Is there any hope of a full KDE 3.5 in F10, plus an upgrade path from F8 to F10 that preserves KDE 3.5 configurations? KDE 4.0 is incomplete and not suitable for most users. KDE 4.1 will be incomplete and not suitable for most users. The KDE devels are debating whether KDE 4.2 will be usable. The pro-plasma crowd argue that it is theoretically possible to implement a desktop by KDE 4.2, but that everyone should change to using the folderview and forget about real desktops. Probably control center will be fixed by KDE 4.2. It's debatable whether Dolphin will ever have the usability that KDE 3.5 Konqueror had, but if it does it won't be until KDE 4.2 at the earliest. F9 already includes a usable KMenu to replace the KDE 4.0 joke, although the usable KMenu is not the default. I'm not a KDE developer but I do have users that need to get work done and they are not interested in a religious conversion to plasmoids. After reading a lot of KDE developer discussions my best guess is that KDE 4.3 is the earliest possibility for most KDE users, but no guarantees. This puts us in something of a quandary. F9 KDE 4.0 is hugely annoying to most KDE users. F8 KDE 3.5 still works fine of course but IIRC security updates will end in six months.
