Yes, fine, there's trinity, but as far as anybody can tell, that's just one guy. I'm sure you could find one guy somewhere out there still hacking on Linux 2.2 or something equally dead. Doesn't make it any less dead. YES, you can have KDE 3.5! You can even have it as an official part of Debian! Nobody will stop you! However, you will need to do some work. You will need to make sure that there is sufficient upstream developer committment to keep it usable and current, and you will need to make sure there is a sufficiently motivated packaging team to keep up with upstream work, triage bugs, and cooridinate package updates with upstream, the the release teams, the security team, etc etc. Can you do that? noah
