Kubuntu releases with KDE3 replaced Konqueror with d3lphin,
KDE4 versions have dolphin. I don't remember being able to find
anything other than Konqueror for file management or web browsing the

liking KDE3). If dolphin was there, Konqueror was too and was more
visible.
We did ship a KDE3 thing called d3lphin that was an early version of
dolphin. It was bad idea.
Your other email said 2008, so was that when 8.04 came out and had a
KDE3 and a KDE4 version both at once? (how on earth did yall produce
two at once????) I only tried the KDE4 version of that. My other
attempts with KDE3 were in '07.
Yes. It was in Hardy (maybe Gutsy). In any case, the idea of sticking close
to upstream is really a post KDE4 vision for Kubuntu that I seriously question
given that we're years into KDE4, KDE5 is started, and the transition to KDE4
was never properly finished (I thought I finally owned a system that I could run
Nepomuk on and see how well it works, but it's looking like I was wrong).

KDE5? Wouldn't it be better to create a good stable product before
always running to new, instable versions?
I think we have to rethink some things anyway. I believe we should have
stable versions as default, and bleeding edge in PPAs in order to be
able to choose what to use. FLOSS is to a big extend really about
choice. The non-technical user wants a stable solution, the technical
user is usually expert enough to work with PPAs.
