kde3 will go into sid when the gcc3.2 transiton is over/complete. KDE is very
much a C++-based system and there is little point uploading it using gcc3.1
and then reuploading/compiling it in X days/weeks when the gcc3.2 transition
happens. And it cannot be uploaded now as gcc3.2 becuase the ftp-masters will
not allow gcc3.2 libraries in until the DD's have worked out how to best deal
with gcc3.2.
I think it is just a matter of being patient, or helping the developers decide
how the gcc3.2 transition is going to happen, so that it can happen and kde3
can go in.
I notice that people have stopped asking when X4.2 will be in sid, and when
openoffice.org will be in sid... [and no, I'm not asking now, either]
