Ok, now why we are cheating in the release notes then:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/Xubuntu#PrecisePangolin.2BAC8-ReleaseNotes.2BAC8-CommonInfrastructure.Ubuntu_Kernel_3.11
?
We should at least fix that if we feel Ubuntu 12.04.4 is the wrong way
to go and give some reason so the Ubuntu people have a chance to learn
from us. ;-)

That would make the "right" iso harder to find.... Currently, Xubuntu
12.04 is in the unique position that is has both point releases and
the original LTS kernel. AFAIK, it's the only official member of the
Ubuntu family with these features.
Xubuntu 12.04.4 is up to date *and* rock solid, with optimal
compatibility for older hardware. Therefore an excellent choice for
those who need to replace Windows XP on their machines: a huge
potential user base!
If Xubuntu 12.04.4 would make the "kernel jump" just like Ubuntu, it's
compatibility with older XP machines would decrease noticeably.

I agree fully with you: Xubuntu 12.04 should stay on 3.2.0 kernel.
But why should Xubuntu 12.04.4 stay on it? If everybody can still
use the 12.04 distro if having driver trouble?

I don't agree with this. In my opinion, Xubuntu 12.04 should stay
with the 3.2.x-kernel.
Because it's currently the only kernel (plus the X.org version
that goes with it) that still supports the restricted nvidia-96
driver for old Nvidia video cards. Same goes for third-party SiS
671 drivers.

Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS does not support the hardware stack
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS supports. It stays on the 3.2.0 kernel
instead. What is the process to have this fixed? Withdraw
Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS or create a Xubuntu 12.04.4a LTS? I am
ready to fix this distro (at least for 686 and amd64
architectures) and make it available for download through my
FTP and HTTP servers. What is the correct process for this?

When booting the Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Desktop CD this is what I get:
cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l
and
uname -ar
Linux xubuntu 3.2.0-58-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 17:37:58 UTC
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
which is the kernel of Xubuntu 12.04.
