Because (a) KDE 4 isn't ready yet, and it seems too close to April for it to
_be_ ready; and (b) where would they get the developers to maintain KDE
3.5?

I suppose Mark Shuttleworth could just choose to spend his own money to hire
enough staff to work full-time keeping 3.5 working...

I agree wholeheartedly.

Because of the upgrade problems I've had with each upgrade since the
last LTS, I had decided to stick to LTS versions only from now on -
unless the upgrade process becomes a lot more robust. In the
circumstances, I plan on moving away from (K)ubuntu. (I stopped
recommending (K)ubuntu (for non-geeks) after the first upgrade to the
last LTS.)

I believe that the lack of a Kubuntu LTS is a bad decision.

It's not our choice.
