Parent article: Canonical pulls funding from Kubuntu

Canonical is not "pulling the plug" on Kubuntu, and that's not what Jonathan said in his letter.

You can see the full list of flavors for which Canonical provides support here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors

Details about what this support entails are here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedDerivatives

Note also that a couple of cycles ago, Jonathan did not work on Kubuntu at all, and Kubuntu still shipped just fine.

While Jonathan is announcing a change, "pulling the plug" is an unfair assesment.

All I meant to indicate was that the company had removed the primary energy source - a funded engineer - from the project. People have obviously read other meanings into that headline. A lack of clarity on the site is our fault, not the readers'; I've made a small change that, hopefully, people will like better. I apologize for any confusion.
