I suspect that if you did that, two things would happen:

1.  People would complain that a lot of the apps were out of date.

2.  Developer motivation would be very low for the LTS releases, as it's
only bugfixing, with nothing new and interesting.  Constant bugfixing
tends to get very boring

Just my two cents...
