Nor 8.04?  They certainly existed.  I have the ISOs to prove it.  If you come 
to the release party tonight at Taste of India, we'll have Kubuntu 9.04 CDs 
available.

In fact, I have a bunch of 8.04 Kubuntu and Ubuntu CDs here.  Kubuntu's not an 
LTS of that version, but if anyone wants an 8.04 LTS Ubuntu CD, I've still got 
a stack.
