When Lenny was released, KDE4 was just plain broken. Since then, it
has matured such that other distributions which have released with
it.
I do not believe the decision to stay with KDE3 in Lenny was anything
other than the simple pragmatic fact that Lenny was being released at
that time.

As much as I prefer KDE3, I agree that there is nothing else the
Debian developers can do, since to take up KDE3 would require
effectively duplicating the entire KDE development team.
The dropping of KDE3 is a simple fact of life because it is no longer
maintained upstream. I hope the pain will be worth it in the long
run.
What I do not appreciate is that the attitude has been not "we have to
do this", but "we're doing it, must suck to be you."
