I think you mean, STABLE, not "obsoleted"... Trinity is actively being
developed (albeit slowly), and is a sane, somewhat lighter weight[1],
alternative to the resource hungry bleeding edge which is KDE 4, for those who
want a KDE experience without all the blood.
Also... it is not a "clone" of KDE-3.5, it is KDE-3.5, plus backports from
KDE-4 and some bits to enable both it and KDE-4 to coexist.
I do agree that the `KDE-4 broken, try Trinity instead' way it is being
mentioned here recently is uncalled for--it would have been better if a thread
looking for comments with respect to getting it into Debian had been started
by Trinity's promoter(s) instead.

[1] Based on my experience of having a couple boxes where KDE-3.5 ran nicely,
but KDE-4 turns them into doorstops... one still runs KDE-3.5, the other uses
UDE + KDE-4 apps... both would be better served by Trinity.
