I would be keen on keeping with 12.04 LTS until the next LTS, but I know I will lose out on upgrades to packages like LO. If I were on Windows, there would be no problem getting the next LO release. I hope developers will look at getting more package updates into LTS point releases.
If you are on a desktop, I wonder if you had considered popping an extra hard drive in for data backup? I us a 1TB drive in a trayless caddy. All non-live data is stored there and also on DVD archives that I update from time to time. Only live data in sync with Ubuntu One and my netbook is stored on the working drive so it is fast and easy to re-install whenever necessary. As for applications, I simply note down the names of all the ones I have installed: it's quick and easy to re-install them plus there are always some that I know I won't need again so I reduce clutter at the same time. I also have a third drive installed internally. I alternate between one drive carrying the testing version and the other with the stable release and I dual boot these.
