absolutely, i think it's great to have release targets like this. i have 
*zero* issues with that, in case i didn't make that clear (i probably 
didn't), in fact i support it strongly.

it's just a matter of how we communicate that to the outside world and that we 
keep ourselves free to make our own decisions. kubuntu may be your 
inspiration, but it's perhaps not the most strategically sound thing to 
trumpet that .. particularly in a way that can be read as forming a close 
bond and allegience.

PR can be annoying ;)
