Kubuntu's inclusion of it is, yes.  On that point, we agree and always have.

HOWEVER...the release of that barely-beta set of tarballs known as KDE 
4.1 (and not "KDE 4.0 Beta") is a *KDE PROJECT* issue, *not* a distro 
issue.  Same for what got called 4.0 (should've been called "KDE 4.0 
Alpha").  Again, let's hope that the KDE Project doesn't make that kind 
of mistake again.  You say "be mad," well, what will make your user base 
mad is when you don't own up to your own mistakes and try to blame a 
version numbering mistake on your part onto the distros.  Don't do 
that.  If it's not ready for end users yet, then release the code, fine, 
but don't call it "4.0" or "4.1" without ""alpha" or "beta" on it.  What 
part of that are you not understanding?
