I can only speak from personal experience, and I don't run Ubuntu on any of
my production machines (AIX 5.3 instead) but I've never had any major issues
when upgrading LTS boxes. Certainly nothing that I can recall anyway.
Perhaps if the Ubuntu stack is changed too much for you then you should be
running straight Debian.

I enjoy the release early, release often approach. If you don't, then stick
to LTS and leave it a few months before upgrading. Pretty obvious I'd have
thought.

When one person suffers from a delusion it is insanity. When many people
suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
