Yep, Cannonical dropped any support for Kubuntu:
Weird how they're "disappointed" about Kubuntu's failure, even though they've treated it like a second-class citizen from the beginning. Everybody knows Ubuntu. Even my grandmother heard the name at least once. Ask 100 people about Kubuntu. 95 of them will think that you just pronounced "Ubuntu" in a weird way.
And how could it be different? They've put it on a different domain and given it a different name. To most people it looked like some inferior spin-off product rather than the "real thing", which is Ubuntu. They never went with the sane choice: putting "Gnome login" and "KDE login" in the login screen. Or at least what openSUSE does with the "Gnome" and "KDE" choice during installation.
How could Kubuntu *not* fail?
