I'm not advocating UVF, but very few new feature specs going into LTS releases. If it's already in upstream (Debian or upstream-upstream -- the individual projects) and it is ready for prime time, then by all means put it in a LTS release. For instance Java with the Sun JVM 5 or 6 isn't working for me with azureus in Edgy and there seems to be a version mismatch of the gtk-java packages: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib-java/+bug/70113 > 2.
