Exactly. But IMHO this year is really important for adoption of Linux on
desktop. And KDE4 is not going to be there.

Don't get me wrong - I really think KDE4 will be a great and
breakthrough desktop. Just don't abandon KDE3 yet and don't stifle
innovation in it "because KDE4 is where the improvements are done".
There are already voices that 3.5.6 will be the last release in 3.5
series and given that KDE4 is far away, this would be the bad thing.
