You have a point, though. I'm one of the #kde ops
and do quite a bit of end-user support there, which
regularly involves quoting paths to individual pre-
ferences in KControl. Given that those paths will
differ between 3 and 4 in places, I could well
imagine different names preventing some confusion
during the transition time in which we have both
3 and 4 users in the channel.

The difference in naming would quickly become a
distinctive signpost for what version is being
talked about (although the fact that Kubuntu has
System Settings right now muddies those waters a
bit).
