Most all of the KDevelop programmers have at least KDE-3.1. To still
support KDE-3.0 has just the background to attract and support KDevelop
to more people, even from the commercial world which is an important
driving power on Linux (as Qt shows) . Letting it compile on KDE-3.0 is
the first step, but also the necessary step to not let those people
delete the KDevelop cvs checkout after 5 minutes. Yes, we're expecting
patches from those people to let the KDE-3.0 version be as good as at
least the 3.1 one. But you can't expect hobby programmers to regress to
old Linux distros just to satisfy unknown people. Everyone mainly wants
to have fun for himself, you know.
