I doubt Kubuntu was or is trying to emulate Fedora. Most likely 15.04 got KF5
because upstream KDE announced KDE4 support would terminate before release of
15.10, and upstream asserted KF5 to be good enough to replace KDE4. That left
the Kubuntu packagers with two poor choices for 15.04, knowing most users
could be satisfied sticking with 14.10 or 14.04LTS instead of jumping into
latest.
