Does Kubuntu really need to be it's own distro?

I agree, but that's not really the point.

Nor should Ubuntu stop the usage of KDE it's a valid and very popular
modification ( use it on three machines and my partner on hers), but
modifying the name ubuntu and redistributing it as a linux distro
technically isn't apart of that "free world".
In all reality my question isn't "Can we do this?" it's "Should we be
doing this?" and I don't think we should.
Just my opinion/concern though..
