I probably will wind up using it.  (Since the alternative seems to be 
creating and maintaining my own KDE3 repo.)  I've been reluctant to use 
it so though, since I don't really agree with their approach:

* They build break KDE into small, modular packages, instead of just 
using the packaging supplied by upstream KDE.  I use most of the apps 
that KDE supplies, and so don't care about the modularity.

* They patch the upstream KDE packages in a number of ways.  I strongly 
prefer to use packages that are as unpatched and plain vanilla from 
upstream as possible.
