Fedora is supposed to be the bleeding edge, or running from PPAs ahead of normal 
releases. Ubuntu releases are not supposed to be bleeding edge. Is Kubuntu 
redefining this and saying that Kubuntu is only supposed to be reliable if you 
run LTS releases and non-LTS releases are only for those who want to be bleeding 
edge? If this is the case, I think that you are going to drive away a lot of 
users. What is the advantage of running Ubuntu instead of Fedora as a base? 
Fedora tends to push for newer versions of things than Ubuntu does, so if you 
are after the latest and hopefully greatest, it would be a better base to work 
from than Ubuntu.
