KDE 4 will be a 2 year effort or so. So the "gap" between KDE 3.4 and KDE 4 
must be filled carefully.

Currently there is still developement done for KDE 3.5, so personally I do not 
think that it is need to shorten that development. KDE 3.5 can as well be 
released when the developement for KDE 3.5 will decrease on its own.

Also personally I would like a late KDE 3.5 also for the reason that the 
KBabel of KDE 3.5 will probably be the translation tool for KDE4. So at least 
KBabel needs SVN support. However I cannot guarantee to have added SVN 
support at mid-July.
