KDE 3.5 will still be available in 2009, but it'll be the reverse of the 2008 Spring situation - 3.5 will be in contrib, 4 in main. We can still reverse this if KDE 4 still looks dodgy in October, but we don't think it will.
Previous wishlists are taken as the starting point for the next one - that's why you see the 2008 and 2008 Spring lists mentioned at the top of the Wiki page in this article. But we don't take everything over to the new list - maybe it's no longer a compelling idea, or we don't have the particular expertise to implement it, or a better idea came up that takes priority. Are there any particular issues from previous lists that you feel are left off the 2009 list?
