Obviously we wouldn't upgrade F8 to KDE 4!
If anything, we'd upgrade it to newer 3.5.x releases, but even that is not
necessary because KDE is among the few upstream projects who publish backported
security patches for older releases, so we do not have to backport anything on
our own, just apply the security fixes from KDE. We could stay on 3.5.10 for
years, and that also works for branches like 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2 which aren't as
long-lived as 3.5.
