Yes, if the GTK/GNOME projects would do LTS releases, it would make things much nicer for distros. It would be good if a targetted LTS release were coordinated and announced in advance as I believe the LTS distros would work to ship that version. This time, Debian & Ubuntu went with 3.4 but Red Hat intends to use 3.6. I don't think either 3.4 nor 3.6 were very ideal as I believe both release cycles tended towards aggressive refactoring instead of stability and polishing what was already there.
