OK; if Dan is just adding KDE3 beta stuff just to have it around, it's a waste of time. If he needs it around to get ready for KDE3 himself, then I see some merit. I think Dan may just be getting a little overzealous and wanting to add it just because it's there. I don't anticipate that KDE3 will be particularly hard to build. So, I finally agree with you :) Dan, I think it's bad policy to add KDE3 beta ebuilds just for the sake of having them. I would only add them if we actually have requests from KDE developers who happen to use Gentoo Linux. But I imagine that any red-blooded KDE developers would be grabbing their stuff from CVS anyway.
