AFAIK Fedora is committed to releasing last stable vanilla KDE builds on
each release. (Hence, KDE 3.4.0 included in FC4; then updated to 3.4.2)
Don't forget that newer GNOME releases were also never released to
Fedora. (Hence, no GNOME 2.12 for FC4, no GNOME 2.10/12 for FC3)

The KDE-RedHat project is releasing KDE 3.5 i386 packages for FC and
RHEL/clones distros.

There's initial work x86_64 packages also.
