Kubuntu future and the name itself

[Dale Trombley]

I think if it were a brand new project it should have a new name. But the
way I understand it it is still ubuntu+kde.  Joke name or not Kubuntu is
now an established name in the *nix community.  My vote would be stick with
the name everyone knows.
