So we can't call it with a leading 3
But we also can't call it with a 4 or user will think it's a preview of kde4 
(which we dont want, or people will think that kde4 will be just the same of 
kde3 but with so much new bug that it doesn't works)

What about giving a codename ?
Like MS did with "Loghorn"

Also, this is not really the whole KDE, but just a part (kdelibs + base) so 
it's only the core of KDE which will be in that snapshot.


Who do we target with that snapshot ?
As i understand it, it's just a pretext to announce to developers they should 
start porting their application.
