You guys are so misguided.
Companies, and corporate users are going to stick with the LTS releases for the very reason you just put out there. Because the normal six-month cycle is too fast. The LTS releases have a great time table, and historically have been pretty stable for the server packages. They seem to have quit making the catastrophic desktop changes for LTS releases as well, giving you a stable desktop to work from.
We use Ubuntu server, LTS releases, in our production environment at work -- we've had great success with those. If they weren't LTS, I'd be pulling my hair out re qualifying software every six months. Now, I only have to test a few targeted fixes in our test environment before we update the production boxes.
