Sorry, not discussions; recent commit messages indicate that
it's being obsoleted and slated for removal starting from the
leaves. See for example r125868, r125871.<br clear="all">

I had mentioned the idea of making KDE3 obsolete quite some time ago
(months) on the list, but never got to do it. I indeed started
(independently from the imake discussion, just a coincidence) some
days ago with the dependents ports. I going slightly slowly on this
part as I am trying to find replacements for the few remaining
kde3-based apps whenever possible.<br>
The idea would be to then remove the kde3 suite after all dependents
have been taken care of. <br>
<br>
The biggest remaining issue is koffice. Ideally, it could be
replaced by calligra (requested in ticket
#<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37579">https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37579</a>), but it seems plagued with
several problems at runtime making it only very partly usable on OS
X. <br>
