We have the source code for KDE 3.5, it's just not practical to maintain it with the resources and manpower available outside the project.
If it's not practical to merely maintain existing code, I'm not sure I have words for how hard it would be to create a viable replacement. Mind-boggling. Stupendous. Impossible.
