Harald, thanks for the update on this.

I appreciate that the KDE4 team needed to make a decision in order to keep things moving ahead. However, folks like me (running 3.5.x and using KDE4 apps) are hit on the head by this. For me, this is not an "unused repository" as you stated. I like to make the most of the ability of KDE4 and KDE3 to run side-by-side so I can get what I feel is the best of both worlds -- that is one of the key things I enjoy about Linux.

Now I am faced with deciding what I want to break, GTK in KDE3 or Konqueror in KDE4. I can't help but feel the decision shouldn't be one I need to make. If there is a fundamental technological reason why these two things cannot "live in harmony", I understand. But I do need to ask if there is anyway this can be made to work out without going through programming calisthenics or contortions. I enjoyed both things living next to each other at one point in time.
