I would assume so. Because Brits, in all seriousness, are possibly responsible for more border conflicts than any(looks at the Flashpoint that is India Pakistan border).

It is not new. Many countries do not teach the full extent of their dangerous past(cough Britain cough). A very specific example I remember is when a group of white folks overthrew the local government(a party called Fusionists) in the town of Wilmington, North Carolina. For a very long time, information about it was kept under wraps and to this day, people on the wrong side of history have had places named after them in their honor.

KDE Neon gets the latest package updates regarding KDE first but it is not official in any sense, as listed on their website. In fact, Neon is just a package archive built on top of Ubuntu that offers more up to date KDE stuff.

I have used the distro as a daily driver in the past. It uses it's own pkgcon package management system.
