Take a look at TDE/Trinity.

I do not know if it does as you wish, but it is a fork of kde2, with enhancements, and they are actually open to actual, usable, needed change.

Are you implying that the KDE devs are not "open to actual, usable, needed change"? That seems disingenuous given the multitude of actual, useable, needed changes they make.

Trinity exists due to unusable, unneeded change that is kde4 and beyond.

So no, they are not open to that path.

Have you even tried recent Plasma versions? Granted, the early KDE4 releases were a train wreck. But there is no reason to have the KDE image tainted by that anymore. Today, it is about as good as KDE3 was.

Until, bound by the same broken reasoning, and senseless logic and push for change, they do it all over again?

For no real beneficial reason?
