+We shouldn't under any circumstances add kde3 in the repos, fork or not.
+
+Users see a package in the repos and they expect it to be maintained,
+this will not be the case, we can't support KDE4 and KDE3 at the same
+time. Past experience tells us this is a major hassle/pain, and we
+shouldn't have to go back to that murky situation.
+
+Also there shouldn't be any qt3 dependant packages in the repos; the
+only and sole reason qt3 is in the Mageia repos is that stewbintn said
+he needs it for some LSB stuff, but nothing is built with qt3-devel as
+BR AFAIK and nothing should be.
