My main concern are things not working out of the box in the KDE 4.13 RC ( as 
is often the case with RC's as witnessed in earlier KDE SC releases ). KDE SC 
4.13 will also feature a new search framework, and some applications like 
Amarok are likely not to be ported by that time. So we're left in the weird 
situation where we will have Nepomuk and Baloo on the ISO.

Ofcourse, we could just drop Nepomuk from the ISO and then we leave it up to 
the users to install Nepomuk to get required meta data integration in Amarok. 
But IMHO that constitutes as loss of  out of the box features from previous 
releases.

Overall it seems a bit risky to push for a RC in a LTS release. If we're 
worried about support, It's not like we have a proper definition for a Kubuntu 
LTS release ;)
