Most code probably won't be rewritten.  Code that has been debugged and tested 
for years is very valuable.  I'm sure there will be areas that will be, but 
mostly to take advantage of the new technology that qt will provide.

KDE's architecture was significantly updated in 2.0, and it was thought out 
very well and practical.  The biggest limitation is lack of developer time.

It seems to me that kde doesn't have a lot of problems with cvs.  I could be 
wrong.
