Well, we're not asking people not to develop their projects.

We are asking people to put effort into KDE 4, if possible.

And we're letting people know that KDE 3.5.x is still feature-frozen. So, 
you can release kalarm separately with the new features, but I don't 
think they'll be in KDE 3.5.3 or 3.5.4 or whichever.
