feel free to provide such a thing, teh past experience turned out that
it is not doable with the amount of manpower ltsp has, which led to
ltsp5 ... and even if you would do it that way today, would you actually
use versions of the software thats outdated (a 2.4 kernel instead of 2.6
that only supports a minimal set of the hardware out there but is a lot
faster and smaller, x11r6 instead of xorg that doesnt support any kind
of autodetection so you would have to write awful and hard to maintain
scripts like distros had to do in the past)

upstream ltsp code is open to everyone, feel free to commit patches :)

right, we have in max 3-5 active testers (huge thanks to them) every
development release (compared to thousands of users). i can only speak
for ubuntu here, for karmic we had 6 alpha releases now, how many of the
people on this list even tested a single one and reported bugs ?
its totally not about manpower of developers but about the 1-1.5h it
takes one or two times during 6 months to do a test install and give
some feedback to the devs *before* releases go out.
