KDE 4: Kubuntu, Systemsettings vs kcontrol Jul 6, 2007, 07 :30 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (8488 reads)
"The first news in this talk was that Kubuntu will not ship with KDE 4 as the default version for the next two (!) Kubuntu [releases]. This is due to the fact that the next version of Kubuntu, Gutsy, will not include KDE 4 because it will not be ready till then. The version after Gutsy would be totally perfect for KDE 4, however, this version will be a Long Time Support version. These specific Ubuntu versions are released every 18 months are aiming at long term stability. Therefore they only include packages which are already in a pretty stable and reliable state. And Jonathan Riddell mentioned that he does not believe that KDE 4 will reach that state that far.
"Sad, somehow, but since these releases are the business releases of Ubuntu it is understandable..."
