With, or without, KDE 3.5.11 I seriously doubt that anything major will 
stop working within the next year that the core of Kubuntu 8.04 will 
continue to receive updates, and probably for quite some time after 
that. By then KDE 4.2 should be out and things should be getting much 
better in that respect. In nine months or so if I see that things aren't 
going to get better I may make other arraignments, but I don't expect 
that to happen.

Besides, as someone else said, KDE 3.5.11 will be available in some way 
whether in the (K)Ububntu repos or elsewhere.

I still don't see the necessity of jumping ship and running just because 
you don't like the newest and shiniest release. 8.04 will continue to 
get security updates for the next year. KDE 3.x will continue to 
function just the same for a minimum of that year and probably a few 
more after that unless some major catastrophe hits your computer. Your 
computer is et up and functioning just as you want it to. AND, I 
seriously doubt that there will be any quantum leaps in computer 
operating systems in the next year or so. So what's the big rush?

You [ generic - no one person in particular ] still have plenty of time 
to let the dust settle a little.
