If somebody comes with bugfixes for KDevelop 3.3.x, those fixes can be 
integrated in the KDevelop 3.3.x branch (KDE/3.5)

If somebody comes with bugfixes for KDevelop 3.4.x, those fixes can be 
integrated in the KDevelop 3.4.x branch

I think it makes sense to keep the branches separated altough there will no 
longer be KDevelop 3.3.x releases.
But KDevelop 3.3.x is still important because it has a very low KDE 
requirement, it can be used in older computers.

We can still, and will still release KDevelop 3.4.x with new KDE releases.

No it's not complicated I did it and I can continue to do it in the future.
A complete KDevelop 3.4.x release takes about two hours work (from docs to 30+ 
binary RPMs)

Apaku and I found a way to release translated versions of KDevelop 3.4.x 
branch.
We now just have to "sell" the idea to coolo.
