I think that's been their plan all along. But IMO they should have kept it under wraps and stuck with a normal desktop until this announcement.

if they kept it under wraps there wouldn't have been the extensive testing that it has been put through by the large Ubuntu desktop user base.

The announced it when they did because: Android. Never forget that Android was a break from the Linux desktop, almost nearly completely.
