Totally incorrect. There's no deviation from the Ubuntu software base at
all.
Proof: if you've installed Ubuntu 12.04 before the point releases, and
you've installed all the updates until now, you still have the 3.2.x-kernel
as well. Just like Xubuntu 12.04.
No higher kernel; that only happens
I don't agree with this. In my opinion, Xubuntu 12.04 should stay with the
3.2.x-kernel.
Because it's currently the only kernel (plus the X.org version that goes
with it) that still supports the restricted nvidia-96 driver for old Nvidia
video cards. Same goes for third-party SiS 671 drivers.
Utter nonsense (völliger Quatsch). Xubuntu 14.04 LTS will aim squarely at
new hardware.
Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS on the other hand, would miss a historic opportunity by
making a kernel jump: the demise of Windows XP is a one-time opportunity
which shouldn't be missed.

I don't like the idea of adding an experimental kernel module like zRam by

I've run zRam on a low memory computer for some time, and it functions
rather well. But it's adding a major layer of complexity; no small thing. I

Apparently, zRam is still in the experimental (staging) phase for the Linux
kernel, although it seems that Google is going to apply it in Chrome OS.
A much simpler measure for increasing performance on low memory systems, is
a decrease of swappiness (or swap use):
