Yeah, I can understand if this could be tight for you, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Kubuntu hits feature freeze on 7th March [1] and that it'd be far easier to get a beta in before that and then push the final release on the 30th into the archive than upload a completely new release a couple of weeks before the Kubuntu release ( More paperwork for me to file and less time to QA the packages ).
