Removing releases means that every update (specially of core packages) should be carefully pushed into the repository so regression risks are minimized. There should be a development (beta) branch where new packages are tested. There could be even more than two levels, it might seems like Debian's unstable/testing/stable scheme, but I think that would be a good approach for many users. I agree that in Enterprise environments, loosing control on versions is a bit (if not very) scary. For those situations LTS will be fine. Nowadays Ubuntu has to support 4 releases at a time (8.04,8.10,9.04 and 9.10) and as result of that some issues aren't solved as quickly as it could. Having a LTS (Desktop and Server) with periodical releases and a Ubuntu for human beans ;) could be interesting.
