Subject says it all. Fedora developers tell us that they can't give us a choice of KDE version and yet Ubuntu is doing it.
Ironically, Fedora says their distribution is more cutting edge and yet Ibex gets kernel 2.6.27 and we are still stuck with 2.6.26.
I think the KDE-3.5.10 decision demonstrates that Ubuntu developers are more sensitive to user end needs.
I've not checked it but this seems not to be true: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/KDE3-KDE4Migration
""" Will 8.10 include KDE 3?
8.10 will only include KDE 4 as its desktop. KDE 3 will not be available. As the code-name suggests, Intrepid is intended as a deliberately cutting edge release, if you would rather stay with what you know 8.04 continues to be fully supported. The development team decided that time and manpower considerations as well as the probable(possible) lack of further 3.5x releases prevent them from maintaining 2 separate versions, and KDE 4 was chosen as the version to move forward with.
