you are mixing 2 different issues

a) the technical abilities of a DE to run on XMir in 13.10
b) the decision of a flavor to adopt to it

I am clearly talking about a) but not the decision that was taken by
kubuntu.

To be clear, we are providing you a route to adopt Mir and commit to a 5y
support window (on Ubuntu 14.04) without much ado. Whether or not this
offer is taken cannot be influenced by me, other than by providing you a
platform you want to be on. Apparently we aren't there yet, but my team and
I are committed to keep having that dialog in the future.

best,
Olli
