When you use "pkg_add -r something" you always have the latest version, have a look at XFree86 for example. So you could not be sure that it will work with KDE3, if the new version is for a new KDE. And it's also possible that a package requires, for example, KDE-3.0.3 and can't work with KDE-3.0.2 > Also consider the case > of a KDE2 user trying to install KOffice from a package.

Anyway, the adding of the version number here comes > from the fact that the (current) KOffice port is made for KDE3, as its > names implies it (koffice-kde3). If you or the KDE Team think it's > better to use `KDE' for the reasons you gave above, it makes sense as well. > KDE3 is the "standard" version of KDE under FreeBSD, and all QT apps are upgraded (when it's possible) to QT3 to avoid conflict between QT2 and QT3 (which is used by KDE3), KDE2 is not really supported. I don't know if the name must be "generalized", I just know that the text will be outdated quickly, and maybe adding a note about the need of an up-to-date KDE version could do the trick.
