0.9.5 cannot be released as well. a new beta cycle need to be done. This can
be a reduced cycle compared to 0.9.4 for ex.

The advantage to do it is to have a report from KDE3 users about common
features implemented in KDE4 (RAWImport and Editor Tools).

users will be more able to play with KDE3 than KDE4. Why ? because KDE4
still unsuitable from ends users. By ex. i have installed some fresh
Mandriva 2009.0 with KDE4 desktop in my office. all have toggle to KDE3
desktop : more stable, more powerfull, no regression. KDE 4.2 will be
certainly ready for production (i hope). this is not yet the case.

This is why i think that to maintain KDE3 is important.

I would to hear more viewpoint here. Achim, Gerhard, etc... ?
