I did use KDE3 all through 8.04 as KDE4 was not ready for an actual work 
environment.  As to the unfair, perhaps just look back in the archives.  We 
were told over and over again that there was no LTS Kubuntu and that support 
did not need to be given on account of it.  I guided my users through that 
time and lost a few because of their treatment on the list.  However, in my 
area I became quite well known for showing people how to keep a productive 
machine operating in their offices so it wasn't all bad!  No, it was not a 
laughing matter and people do not appreciate the feeling.  They leave.  I fear 
Ubuntu will become so hard that it will shatter is all.  We can ill afford to 
drive users away.  The take it or leave it attitude belongs to windoze, not 
Ubuntu.
