Provided you also don't browse the web, read emails, or
accept
documents from others, then maybe you don't need
security updates.
I still have a few FC3 servers behind multiple layers of
firewalls
but in general I wouldn't recommend living without
security updates.
However the thread topic is whether we can hope to see KDE
3.5 in F10.

I am not a developer, I am just a regular user, but I do not see it happening. A good
idea would be to make a KDE 3.5.10 after KDE 3.5.9 to continue with KDE 3.5.X series, but
it won't happen :(

If you want KDE 3.5.X, and still use Fedora you can use Fedora 9-X where X is a number
less than 8, or a LiveCD which does not care for any updates, and you can still run and
start without problems/updates/etc.
