No, it was the decision Red Hat made before they sold distros with X

who do you think pays the other 38%.
So they did make the decision to continue support for KDE 3. OK. So
what? I wish them the best of luck. KDE still stopped the support.
Anything else you say will not change that fact. Again, Redhat is only
picking it up because KDE isn't doing it. That's what you just said.
It's not what I said. Red Hat commit to support all software they supply,
irrespective of upstream decisions. It is reasonable to assume that the
distros that employ and pay KDE developers are happy with the way things
are going, otherwise they would discontinue their support.
Can you accept the fact that KDE dropped support for KDE 3? Why is this
so hard for you to accept? That is all that I said and this is enough.
KDE DROPPED SUPPORT. End of story. I don't' care what Redhat or any
other distro did. KDE dropped the ball. Paid or not, they dropped
support for KDE 3.
Jeez!
