Yes, I do agree that the way Ubuntu gets released and the changes that seem to get made to releases, keeping up with the latest version can be a pain. However for something like Rivendell you don't really want to or need to be updating the OS all the time. As a result I've learned to only use the LTS releases (8.04, 10.04) and ignore the rest. Even continuing to use them when they have passed their official end of support date (hence the detective work that I've done getting Rivendell 2.1.1 to compile and run on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.4 LTS.). One of these days I might switch over to either Debian or CentOS, but I've also found that switching from what is familiar to something less familiar - even within the Linux world - can offer challenges that you never would have thought of.
