   Hmm, I don't think that they're going to break it, but rather that   
   the "end of support" means "we're not going to be fixing any more bugs   
   in it or apply any patches to it".   
      
   I don't think KDE 3.5.10 will ever really disappear until at the very   
   least KDE 4.x has its act together, and by that time they may even   
   already be working on KDE 5.0. ;-)
