Canonical pulls funding from Kubuntu

Kubuntu lead developer Jonathan Riddell has sent out an announcement that Canonical will no longer be funding work on the KDE-based Kubuntu distribution. "The practical changes are I won't be able to work on KDE bits in my work time after 12.04 and there won't be paid support for versions after 12.04. This is a rational business decision, Kubuntu has not been a business success after 7 years of trying, and it is unrealistic to expect it to continue to have financial resources put into it."
