I think you read just too many blogs than actually investigating. I know a lot of Ubuntu developers who are *actually* contributing upstream. Another thing - Please understand the meaning of upstream first. Ubuntu has more than one upstream and not only GNOME.

Ubuntu isn't a rolling release and wont be ever. It should never be a rolling release. Rolling release dont work for non-techie user. We geeks find it proud to be using latest versions of everything and continuously updating our system. Non-techies don't. Whatever you say, Ubuntu would have never gained so much popularity with rolling release ever.
