Are kernels updated for the life of a ubuntu operating system or for just a short time after a system is released? I usually go right into using the development version, but this time decided to stick with intrepid for awhile since it works so good. 

Kernels are generally updated for the full supportd life of an Ubuntu release, which is usually 18 months, with the exception of the long term support releases, dapper and hardy.
