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 in Ubuntu 12.04 when you do a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.4.
