[Cooker] KDE3.5 killed in 2009.0 ?

I though that staying with an older distribution would prevent KDE4
being rammed down our throats? An update as just gone through, and I can
no longer get in as the desktop no longer exists :(

Some warning that major damage was about to be done would have been nice?

It was not intentional, and a bugreport is done:

And a second batch is on the way to fix the breakage:

I just 'reinstalled' task-kde3 and everything seems to be working again
... at least all the automatic stuff has come back up ;)
