> KDE 4 is a rewrite of KDE, not a Qt4 port of KDE 3

No. KDE4 is not a rewrite of KDE3. It's completely new environment. It's further from KDE3 
than Gnome, LXDE or XFCE.

Then the devs would need push to the direction of KDE3. I am in doubt however that the devs of KDE4 will eventually abandon plasma.

Hopefully this will never occur because OpenSoursce ideoilogy implies choice dispite some people attempting to strip us from this right. Anyway why do you put KDE4-related posts in this message list? Why not in Gnome list or Xfce list? Do you think you more easily find here new converts in your faith? Please stop with advertising spam for KDE4 here.
