Hello!
If I'm being redundant, forgive me...
Since LL 1.0.x has a long support cycle, upgrading is not that big of a deal at the moment anyway. With the six-month support of the other distros, there's just not time to actually fix much. A longer support cycle is better - there's more focus on bug-swatting and less on how to bloat the next version even more than the current version already is.
I'm sure no one @ LL is able to work full-time on it, which makes it that much more imperative that those who have the knowledge to help these guys out should do so. The folks @ Canonical are funded by deep pockets, and have at least SOME paid staff.
When I WAS upgrading every six months, I always did a clean install anyway. Something ALWAYS gets lost in the shuffle when upgrading. It's usually just plain better to 'nuke it and start over'...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
