Like I said last time Jeff, you have a different idea of what "official
support" means then John and I do.  No offense, but if Canonical truly
supported KDE as an equal to GNOME then a) Kubuntu wouldn't need its own
name, b) Kubuntu wouldn't need its own website, c) someone could order
"Kubuntu" from Ubuntu's website, a.k.a. "Ubuntu-KDE", and d) Ubuntu
wouldn't refer to Kubuntu as a "partner project", which clearly implies
Kubuntu is *not* part of Ubuntu... "officially".

Canonical doesn't have to support KDE, I actually understand why Canonical
is favoring your baby over KDE right now, but don't pretend that allowing
the Kubuntu people a few hundred megabytes of storage space in Ubuntu's
repo is the same as "official support".  It isn't.
