My personal experience (and what I've observed in our users over years of playing customer support) is that plenty of intelligent people prefer LTS over the latest release. For stability and long term support. I feel that's a reasonable and intelligent decision to make if someone wants to keep their one Ubuntu machine on LTS.
Oh, absolutely! But you *can* easily develop Mir on Ubuntu 14.04; you just need to add the toolchain PPA and install gcc-5.
The alternatives aren't “use new things, and only people on 15.04 can build Mir” and “don't use new things”. The alternatives are “use new things, and add a small additional step to those on 14.04 who want to build Mir” versus “don't use new things”.
Now, that additional step is not nothing, but I don't believe that it's a significant barrier.
