That's my general impression from Ubuntu - I switched to it for my
desktops for convenience, and use CentOS for the servers at work. I
never saw them actually back-porting important patches, for instance,
not even to the alleged Long Term Support (LTS) versions (but maybe I
missed).
Long term support means that if they wake up in the morning and while
they are reading their newspaper over breakfast see an article about a
Linux security bug, they will open a bug and backport the fix,
eventually.
If it is something that only gets published on such obscure
publications as Ars Technia, etc. They will ignore it.

To help restaurants, as part of the "stimulus package", everyone must
order dessert. As part of the socialized health plan, you are
forbidden to eat it. :-)
