I partialy agree.
I don’t think the non-LTS releases should have less marketing effort, but the LTS should have more. For they who want stability over innovations. (not only server, but non-geek or IT lovers too)
A good LTS can fight well Windows and OSX on the OEM market.
The PPA system is a BAD recommendation for who want stability. Few PPA are stable enough to complete a LTS installation, but many are too on the edge.
Dell have installed LTS on their pcs and I hope in April they pursue the Lucid Lynx marketing. Now they have a lot of experience on ubuntu to support LTS without problems.

In this case there are two options: Wether Ubuntu commmits to improve the quality of LTS versions, wether I switch to, maybe, Debian stable.

I disagree. There is a misconception that Ubuntu LTS releases are of better quality or more stable than those in-between. They are not. The next LTS release will have about the same percentage of upgrade/install problems as the current release. An LTS release means exactly what it says. Canonical will provide package upgrades and bug fixes for three years. That is all and nothing more.
