The official Ubuntu home page has a press release talking about 8.04 being released:
"LONDON, April 21, 2008 – Canonical Ltd. announced the upcoming availability of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition for free download on Thursday 24 April. In related news, Canonical also announced the simultaneous release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition." So I think the "Coming Soon" refers to the final 24 hours and it will be officially released tomorrow on the 24th (US time). I'm running the release candidate and the daily updates have tapered off - only 2 packages this morning - so gut feeling suggests they have the final release ready or very close to it.
