That, unfortunately, defeats the purpose of an "LTS" distribution and is
why the kernel version doesn't get updated on either RHEL/CentOS or
Ubuntu LTS. The same applies to Debian Stable; it's basically the
original "LTS" distro.

*That* is why Ubuntu exists. What Canonical's doing is taking Debian
Sid and making it considerably more user-friendly--and less "dangerous"
from a typical user's point of view--through additional quality testing
and good packaging. To use and appreciate Debian Sid itself takes some
geekiness, kinda like Slackware; it would never work for my mother. But
Ubuntu would.
