Goobuntu?

Rumors say that Google is going to release an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, known internally as Goobuntu. If this is truth it is really good news. I just wonder why Goobuntu and not Gookubuntu (based on Kubuntu, and thus KDE). If they go with the idea, and I hope they do, the only "bad side-effect" I can see of this is that KDE would loose user-base to Gnome... But this are good news overall.
