There have been a lot of ideas tossed around on this thread, but the general consensus seems to be that non-LTS releases (Gutsy in particular) are somewhat unstable. Backports used with LTS releases are useful, but (correct me if I'm wrong here) they don't provide new features such as compiz-fusion or tracker, they only upgrade currently installed packages.
Perhaps a more stringent inclusion policy would suffice, so that things such as X.org 7.3 which can't make it in time for the release get dropped entirely and included in the next version, rather than get partially included and cause various problems. As well, perhaps backports should be advertised a bit more. Otherwise sites like Getdeb will be swamped when Firefox 3 comes out. Pretty much anybody who knows of the release will want to upgrade (especially given it's good reviews so far). Evan
