Are we sure that 3.5 has no fixes that didn't go into enterprise?
AFAIK my colleagues have set up svnmerge and kept an eye on changes,
but still it might be a good idea to make sure we're not overwriting a bugfix.

I think this would break all existing checkouts (including those on all the kde 
servers like anonsvn and mirrors, lxr, websvn, etc.)
The (automated) svn update will barf with "cannot replace directory from 
within" or something like that.
The alternative is to merge the diff between the two branches into 3.5, I 
suppose.
This won't provide the history of those changes, but well, I guess the reverse 
is true as well,
replacing 3.5 with enterprise using svn mv means we replace the 3.5 history 
with the enterprise
history (which might not have as much details when it comes to the hacking that 
happened in the 3.5 branch
and was merely merged into enterprise)...

I support the idea of course, I'm just wondering about those small details.
Another "small detail" would be: checking with the translators that they are OK 
with all
those new strings appearing in the 3.5 branch - so close to the release.
