Kubuntu support will continue along Canonical's path forward, because they are the game in town for the time being, but KDE development is by no means held back from moving at any pace with any base OS it wishes to embrace. Libreoffice is a powerful model for what could happen with KDE. Don't hold your breath, but perhaps a KDE default desktop for Debian with a little philosophical compromise now that we have systemd anyway. Canonical is a force, but Ubuntu could go proprietary tomorrow, certainly at least as far as cloud computing, which is the consumer market future anyway, but Debian would still be Debian. I am less concerned with a religious belief in free software, especially concerning Ubuntu derivatives, and far more concerned with consumer advocacy. I believe in business, but I also believe that consumers have a right to reasonable expectations, and fraud protections from unethical business practices, and let's face it, most people, even a lot of small business people, see computers in general as both a boon, and a nuisance, or a necessity with the same planned obsolescence program as an automobile. They engage computing predisposed to be victimized.
