KDE wishes to be associated with the new KDE4 user interface and plasma
experience, not the "old" KDE3 interface and traditional desktop
computing.  By respecting this, we avoid a lot of potential strife and
confusion between the KDE and TDE projects.

Remember that for the majority of people a name is a *unique* identifier. 
KDE cannot refer to two completely different systems designed around
incompatible HCI models without causing considerable confusion.
