I would like to respectively disagree.  I think this guide as a whole
should be maintained and even released/created for Kubuntu as well. 
Whether or not it falls under the term of "marketing" or not is something
that I'm not really worried about, but I feel that a guide in whole should
be a part of the documentation as a separate complete guide the way it was
structured for Edgy, which is why I've spent time working on the Kubuntu
version of it.
The reasoning behind it is that if my brother who has never used *ubuntu
or *nix wants to try things out and make the switch where does he go to
learn how to switch?  I think this guide would provide that point.
I know the Official Book doesn't go in some of the detail (such as
importing contacts, favorites, email, etc) that the Ubuntu version and
hence the Kubuntu version will go.

I also know that for Kubuntu this was a guide specifically requested by
Jonathan Riddell and it just got done for Ubuntu on the last release.
