The current kubuntu packageset is quite large - https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/packagesets/noble/kubuntu Note, the kubuntu team does not have to commit to maintaining all of these packages over the course of the LTS (particularly since a lot of these are in other seeds etc). I wonder if instead it would be more realistic to commit to those in the supported seed for kubuntu: https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/seeds/kubuntu.noble/supported >> >> Also can this also be documented publicly on kubuntu.org (perhaps at >> both https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ and https://kubuntu.org/support/) >> so that it is clear to Kubuntu Users what the support timeframe is and >> which parts of Kubuntu they should expect support for from the >> kubuntu-dev team? > Yes, we are in the middle of a website overhaul.
