FYI, Kubuntu is dropping KDE 3 support in Intrepid Ibex, which will be released 
at about the same time as Fedora 10.
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidVersion
Their setup will be almost exactly as it is now in Fedora 9 (and will be in 
Fedora 10 too): no more KDE 3 desktop and core KDE 3 modules, only KDE 3 
libraries and the KDE 3 versions of (mostly third-party) applications not yet 
ported to KDE 4.

So the distro you're switching to isn't really doing much different from the 
one you're escaping from, the only difference is that they're doing things one 
release later, with the intermediary solution of parallel-installable KDE 3 and 
4 in Hardy Heron, which we skipped because it would have been a lot of work for 
something which would probably have been thrown out one or two releases later 
(in Kubuntu, that solution is only lasting for a single release!).
