Can I put a different spin on this (excuse me if it has already been 
said) Kubuntu is the poor brother to Ubuntu with very finite resources, 
having the team support KDE3 past 8.04 is silly, yes some of us pine for 
the old KDE but in the end any time devoted to keeping another system 
going past Hardy just is way too much a drain on little resources we 
have. I get frustrated at the length of time it takes to get patches & 
new functionality into Kubuntu & any where we can lighten the load 
should be explored. Dumping a 2nd UI I believe just makes sense.
