I'm not a kde developer nor a leader, but from the side of an advanced user 
this is what I can tell you:

This is very reasonable since KDE2 was released with QT2... why create 
confusion in our little users' minds? :)

What I most care is: there are _still_ some KDE 1.1.2 users that are not able 
or are in progress to switch to KDE 2...

Another thing is that IMHO KDE 2 is not old enought to grows up. KDE 1 was a 
child, KDE2 is a boy and KDE3 will be a man. KDE2 is great but everyday there 
are things that comes out and that can't be changed because of binary 
compatibility. KDE 3 will be the place where BC would no longer be a problem 
and everything can be corrected. Now, why do not wait until Qt3 is stable (4 
or 5 months) and keep note of all the things that need to be broke? Switching 
the HEAD to KDE3 development is a way to put KDE2 to dead with no possibility 
to get those important information to flow anymore. This is called "2nd time 
syndrome", isn't it?

I read of this new features in the Qt3 annuncement and I'm sorry that you and 
your co-inhabitants can't use your own language right now in KDE: 
localization is one of the best things I've seen in unix/qt/KDE!
