It was just my opinion , but as I think that I know people on KDE list, they
should be fine with KDE3 talk, as long as it doesn't include what we see here,
time and again repeated feelings and heavy load of misunderstanding about
relations between developers and users; "They (developers) should do this,
they should do that." They do what they want to, it is their time. Some people
go to bars, other to dance places, some play music, other listen, some go to
sport events, other play there, but no one likes when someone else is telling
him/her what to do with his/her own time. It is against basic basic
understanding what is free time.

We (users) can swim around if we know how, or learn how to code and join the
other side (and listen what we have to do :) We can also politely ask for
features, and if those that can code have time and joy to work on it, we will
have it. It is basic of FOSS, everything is possible if people respect each
other.

Yes, I do think that a kde3 mail list would be adequate, just for that
reason. To rid ourselves of useless discussions. Keep both sides separate.

(and no, please, I'm not taking sides. I have use for both)

Keeping separate will not prevent someone to cross ML boundaries, and keeping
all in one pot can help KDE3 guys to get some help from KDE developers. They
developed and know KDE3, so they can give tips how to deal with some problems,
but as usually if they have time and joy to help, not because someone
requested help.

Current list is free for anyone talking KDE. The topic is not set to KDE4 only
talks. That majority talks about KDE4 is just the fact that is the topic that
they have interest in, nothing more.
