KDE4 is not in F8 updates.  So you didn't perform any sort of typical
update.  You upgraded your install to F9.  And if you did that, you'd
have checked the release notes to see that KDE 4 replaces KDE 3 in F9.

It's not.  Calm down.  If you upgrade to a release that includes KDE 4
by default, you don't get to act shocked that it has -- GASP! -- KDE
4.
