It already has been; 8.04 is the last KDE3 release.  All future releases
will have only KDE4.  (Baring policy changes, of course.)

I think you mean 8.10, since 8.04 is deliberately still KDE3 -- and an
LTS release, so you can be assured that the KDE3 version will continue
to work for the next three years and all.

That should give time for KDE4 to settle down.

moving, and will leave you with KDE3 for longer.
