This is exactly the sentiment I find disagreeable -- that simply being "old" is enough to condemn a perfectly functional piece of software.

Maybe, it is because of my own age, that I am -- in the back of my mind -- becoming concerned, the sentiment may get applied to humans as well. But, more likely, it is simply because it does not make sense...

I think you should look at trinity. It is a fork of KDE3 and is in development to be ported to Qt4 :)
Yes, I looked at it, and may even port it some day -- if I find a collaborator or two. In my opinion, absent the other "prong", Trinity is not even a "fork", but the actual next version of KDE3 (something, KDE4 is not).

But, until then, deleting KDE3 ports -- which continue to build fine -- seems wrong.
