I have to say... it makes sense

Although having a good, integrated, polished way to show off KDE technology is a good goal, I see it as conflicting with Ubuntu's goal. Specially now that they have started creating an own desktop environment (even if built on top of Gtk).

I have never been a KDE user. Still, Jonathan - Congratulations for your work over the years, on being able to convince them to try to begin with!
