I guess I'll have to search the meeting logs of the techboard, but I guess
what I am wondering and others apparently as well is what happened to cause
this change.  At UDS I was under the impression there was going to be a LTS
support, and if you look at the spec page (
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHardyKde4) we weren't going to do a KDE4
release.  Why the change?  Just on the release schedule of KDE4 or other
issues.   Was this decided at a techboard meeting then?
Seems a lot of people were suprised in regards to this announcement.
