and if he created a new branch in svn?

unless he gathers a community around those efforts. i don't think we need to 
lend our own efforts, e.g. release team engineering, but i also don't think we 
should stifle the efforts of others.

i don't think such a development would threaten kde4 progress in any 
meaningful way at this point.

yes, i don't think we could call it "KDE 3.5.11" or even "KDE <anything>" 
without more eyes on the branch.
