How is it installed on a system which already has 4.x replacing 3.x KDE

I very much agree and indeed was my point in writting the message.  A distro 
needs to make sure what it releases to the public WORKS for the public or the 
public will develop bad taste in its mouth over it and give the distro a 
miss.  I'd hate to see that happen to Ubuntu as for the most part problems 
are rapidly addressed by its community of users.  KDE 4.x still is not ready 
for regular users but has become better than it was when released in Ubuntu.
