That is, as it says, a quote from KDE.org, and completely unrelated to what 
Kubuntu is doing.

Yes, it does.  It's in the PPA _specifically_ because it will NEVER be part 
of an official 8.10 release.  That's what PPAs are for.

But is it?  Are you promising me that huge and significant parts of the KDE 
arsenal won't still be at 4.1 (or worse)?  As kde-pim was not at 4.1 when 
8.10 was released?  I doubt you can make that promise.
