How does this differ to Project Neon which was also Kubuntu.

 Unlike it’s Neon 5 counterpart , this ISO contains packages made from the stock Plasma 5.0 release . The ISO is meant to be a technical preview of what is to come when Kubuntu switches to Plasma 5 by default in a future release of Kubuntu.

Do they plan on releasing Kubuntu with Plasma 5.0? If not, I don't really know what the point is.

If you would be so kind and read the linked website, you would see the following:

I think this very clearly answers your question.

It doesn't. Plasma 5 is not the same thing as Plasma 5.0.

So there, Mr. Meanypants.

Kubuntu 14.10 will ship with 4.14 by default, and they are thinking of releasing a Kubuntu Plasma 5 ISO alongside the regular 14.10 release. This would ofcourse be a tech preview of things to come in 15.04 ( or later, timelines are fuzzy right now ).

That's good. I think plasma 5 is not ready yet to general use (probably until the end of the year) and a lot of applications (dolphin,konsole,kate,kmix,etc) have not stepped forward to qt5.

If distros begin to precipitate... Nobody wants a KDE4.0 again.
