My remark was botched in it's wording and inappropriate in it's implication. It was insulting to Kubuntu, to the people who use it, to the people who develop it and of course, to you. I should never have used the size of the userbase as a reason to not support Kubuntu in the project. You're right the the paper cuts project has done nothing for Kubuntu, and I'm sorry this has been the case. Kubuntu being added to the target list of candidate paper cuts coincided with the start of the decline of the original project so it hasn't done much for Ubuntu either since then. I've inherited the project as it stood two years ago and I'm simply trying to reconcile the decisions Canonical made back then with the need to build a strong and healthy project that's run by and for the community that will last longer than two cycles. Once again, I'm sorry for insulting Kubuntu and all the work yourself and the other developers have put into it. I'm glad Kubuntu has found a new commercial sponsor and I wish you all the best with the future of the project. Thanks, Chris
