I was always under the impression that the Council just decided on membership and other non-technical details (but that is probly due to my limited knowledge of how it works). The point I am really trying to get across is that Kubuntu is a product, a product that ships to users. And although all of the contributors of Kubuntu have vested interest and want to make it better, there still is generally a point of coordination and guidance on what the important things for each cycle are. Generally this guidance comes from the product "owner" who sees the global picture (user feedback, bug reports, developer comments) from all facets of the product. I am not saying this is a dictatorship role, it is mostly a role used in the planning stages..etc. And from what I have seen in the past Jonathan has been at all UDS events and been a heavy part of Kubuntu planning so that is why I said what I did. If operations run a different way, I am sorry I misspoke, I just wanted to stress the idea that at some point, someone has to make a decision that speaks for the product :)
