An example of a feature added to TDE that was not in KDE 3.5.10 is the compositor. Has it broken all TDE and maked the users all upside down like what your are doing right now? Of course, not at all. It was just a nice addition to TDE and some persons have worked hard to implement it, so whe should all thank those who want to improve TDE in any way.
"Nice addition" is your opinion. How is compositing not bling or bloat? It's incorporation in early KDE4 releases was a big reason I didn't even like to sample them.
