I think we could keep both Krita 3 and 4 around for a while, removing
the older one in a few months. It's easy with a package like this:

(define-public krita-3
  (package
    (inherit krita)
    (name "krita")
    (version "3.3.3")
    (source (origin
              (inherit (package-source krita))
              (uri (string-append
                    "mirror://kde/stable/krita/"
                    (version-prefix version 3)
                    "/" name "-" version ".tar.gz"))
              (sha256
               (base32
                "0pc6hnakkqy81x5b5ncivaps6hqv43i50sjwgi3i3cz9j8rlxh5y"))))))
