Did I say to revert this commit? No.

Yes, nobody is really actively working on kdev3 anymore (except maybe
Alexander during his work-time). However KDev3 will stay for quite some
time, even if we release 4.0 I don't see all of our users switch
right-away. Removing branches/KDE/3.5/kdevelop would clear up some
things, especially as a KDE 3.5.8 is scheduled for mid October. That way
they won't do another 3.4.x release and instead we can release 3.5.0 at
the same time or even before.

Thats not even close to true. I dedicated a day or two on kdev3 hacking
in the last 4 weeks, fixing a few bugs and introducing 1 new feature. In
the same time I did tons of changes to KDev4 (even though some of them
were reverted again). Yes we are short on manpower, but except Alex and
me nobody worked on KDev3 in the last months (except maybe fixing a few
easy bugs) and as far as I can see Alex gets paid for that.
