In fact, there may even be KDE 3.x maintenance releases *after* KDE 4 comes out. KDE 3.x is a stable platform that will be in use for years to come, and as long as there is both demand and people willing to put in the work, it will be maintained. This is open source; there's no "end of life" date except the natural one of nobody caring anymore.
