Now, who didn't see that one coming? :-} I'd say, once you're far enough, 
contact me off-list and we can discuss this. I doubt I'll be able to support 
anything but Kubuntu 8.04 until well after Kubuntu 9.10 has been released, 
but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'd be interested in the plans 
for KDE4, anyway, at some point...

Yup, which is exactly what I'm doing - not least because usually, there are 
fixes in there that help us.

Hm - so far, I've never been in that loop, i.e. I never reported back unless 
something went wrong. Am I right in assuming that "positive" reports would 
also be helpful for you? In that case I'll try and keep an eye on what comes 
back from our users after I pushed the latest unstable out here.
