Kubuntu LTS and KDE4

What does the above article actually _mean_?  Does the above article mean 
that Kubuntu won't have an LTS for another 3 years, or that Kubuntu 8.10 
will be the LTS, or what?

80% of the Kubuntu repository is shared with Ubuntu, you can turn Ubuntu 
into Kubuntu via "aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" to get the extra 
packages.  I remember with 5.10, the repository went away entirely after 
the 6 month period and I couldn't even install new copies of the distro.  
If the 8.04 repository is still there, and just stops getting certain kde 
packages updated, that's a big difference from taking the repository down 
before the 3 year period is up...
