Any hope of KDE 3.5 in F10? I want it too !

What the distributions shipping parallel-installable KDE 3 and 4 do is to use a 
completely separate configuration directory for KDE 4, usually ~/.kde4. The 
obvious problem with that is that KDE 4 won't pick up your existing KDE 3 
settings, so it's inadequate for migrating to KDE 4. It also means KDE 4 users 
will have to manually rename ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde when they upgrade to a later 
version which finally defaults to KDE 4, otherwise they'll lose all their 
settings. This really sucks as a user experience, and it is one of the reasons 
I don't like that setup.
