That means from that point on any upgrades to KDE 4 will reuse the 
configuration from KDE 3 and update it were necessary? Or will previous 
~/.kde be moved again and a new empty ~/.kde be created?

How about earlier KDE 4 upgrades which used ~/.kde4? Well I have no 
problem handling this manually cause I know this was experimental, my own 
risk and what not ;-). I only upgraded my multimedia laptop above my 
hi-fi system anyway.
