I don't think we really need a vote on it. Just set an ultimatum for
people to come up with a reasoned response on why we shouldn't before a
week from now or somesuch. If no such responses are given go ahead and
remove, if such responses arive we coudl vote on it still.

Whatever is decided in this regard, e.g. no change, kde4-* -> kde-*, KDE
in separate grimoire, whatever, any of that can or needs to happen a
while after we get rid of KDE3.

Whether we want KDE4 in /usr or some other prefix can be settled sooner.
Which is something we just need a general concensus on, with perhaps a
bias to the person or people who are going to implement and maintain the
lot.

Remko.
