Even though I would also like to see a better-defined set of packages that the flavor is willing to support throughout the LTS, I do feel like the Kubuntu team does continuously demonstrate that they're able to provide support for all of its core components throughout previous releases. With this in mind, I'm also +1 on Kubuntu as an LTS for 24.04.
