Hi Sagar, as lubuntu is still quite a new flavor in the family, each 6 monthly
cycle brings more fine tuning of the lxde functions (The Lubuntu devs are
responsible for a lot of them). Switching to an LTS would actually create quite
a head ache, as you need to have proven that an improvement in an application
(i.e. bug fix) works in the development release before it could be considered
for SRU (Stable Release Update). It also would mean that no new applications
that increase functionality could be added. Bug fixes are all that is permitted
under the SRU rules. I hope that helps explain why the team uses the 6 monthly
release cycle. Do not forget that 12.04 will receive kernel updates and things
like browser updates via the central system as they are 'Ubuntu' things. If you
are running Lubuntu 12.04 and have it fully update, then do
lsb_release -a
from the terminal, you will see that it reports 12.04.2 LTS as the release. It
is the lubuntu specific things that do not always get LTS, other updates. Where
possible, the team does back-port revised versions of the lx series. I'm going
to mark this as Won't Fix, please feel to ask for futher information on the
lubuntu mailing list.
