In practice I do not think there have been more than a handful of updates to Xubuntu apps which are not in Ubuntu, so I think it is misleading to call it LTS. We do not guarantee that we fix Xfce, Gnumeric, Abiword or other packages issues. It is usually better supported than a regular release since base system and apps where most security issues are found are taken care of. We may need a better explanation but I think LTS implies Canonical paid support is valid for the same period (someone needs to check) and that is definitely not the case for Xubuntu yet. This is why having more common apps with Ubuntu is great for users who want more timely fixes after the release. And I think those users are more important than those few who are interested in Xfce itself and are more technically inclined. Those will install any app they wish instead of the GNOME ones and accept the lack of features or integration because it's their choice.
