It's quite simple really.  We have no legal right to use the trademark "KDE" for anything.  KDE e.V. has graciously cut us some slack during this transitional period, but they could easily demand full removal of all of their trademarks at any time (e.g. if this project starts actually competing with KDE4 for some reason).

It seems like a very likely possibility we will compete, very few people actually like KDE4, and they've all been in real life. Practically everyone in the online world prefers KDE3.

We may be able to just prepare the rebranding and keep the original stuff in the actual system, then switch on command if they want us to.
