"3.0 was released on April 3rd, 2002" - taking that a KDE4, even if we move quickly to it, would be released in 2005, I would call this long-lived enough in the open source world. The question here is more if we have the resources (and will) to release a 3.3 in 2004. Greetings, Stephan -- There may be no I in TEAM, but a M and an E.
