Ironic or not, even though an LTS-badged release seems to mean "a
longer period of security updates than other Ubuntu releases" this is
not what Canonical/Ubuntu means.

A developer replied to a query about having 2.6.33 included in 10.04
by saying that they were being more conservative than they would
otherwise be because 10.04 was an LTS release. So Canonical's intent,
even though it does not slap a "stable" on the name is that an LTS
release is a stable one - or at least a more stable one than a non-LTS
release.
