Probably so.  You are so verbose that I probably stopped reading before 
getting to that.

The only thing that I said was bulolshit, and I repeat that fact, is that  you 
are being "forced" to use KDE4.  There are enterprise distros that have 
confirmed support for KDE3 for several more years.  You are not "forced" to do 
anything.

Once more you are being vague.  What is missing?  You may be right, but unless 
we know what you are talking about we will never know that.
