correctly, at the moment KDE or every other WM can be installed from universe
KDE is much popluar, therefore also Kubuntu was created.

"outrage would erupt" ? I guess you missunderstood something. Gnome is beeing
developed by Gnome, KDE is developed by KDE.

That is the current situation.  In the future however Kubuntu will be a Ubuntu 
Distro on KDE basis.

Your aspect is very reduced. You concerns about speed and stability.
surely gnome has advantages, it has also disadvantages. 
XFCE and Blackbox are really nice fast WM. KDE has a wounderfull
kioskframework. It is everyone its personal decision which WM he
choose. I hope in feature there will be a huge amount of Ubuntu
based distro's and hopefully with different WM. 

If someone is interested in another version, let's say a Unbuntu XFCE 
Desktop version, I will help also there. 

Cheers,
