OK, but here's my problem -- what happens when/if I upgrade to KDE 4.0?
Do I not get KPilot? Do I get a KPilot that is there and will execute
but "not all old conduits" function (why would anyone run KPilot if not
for calendar, todo, and address? isn't that the entire point of the
application)?

I'm not trying to bust chops here, but people use this for productivity.
A broken release is almost worse than no release at all. The best case,
it sounds like (and maybe this is exactly what you're doing, but it's
not stated here) is to release KDE 3.5.8 with KDE4, but what you had
written indicates that all of the KDE3 code was removed. Perhaps this is
from a different branch?

Excuse me if I'm asking ignorant questions. :)
