It seems that I used the words "stable release updates" in a wrong way. 
So lets try to rewrite how I understand the answers that I got:

- Important updates will be made available through the repositories for 
all Ubuntu releases, obviously with a change in the version of the 
updated package; but without a change in the version of Ubuntu. (during 
the time period of support)

- Moreover, for the LTS releases, there will also be new versions of the 
CD and when this is the case, the micro number of the Ubuntu version 
will be increased (for example the "1" for Ubuntu 8.04.1 will be 
increased to "2" when the new CD arrives).

- For non-LTS releases there will not be any new version where only the 
micro-number is increased. (For example for Ubuntu 8.10.0 there will 
never be an Ubuntu 8.10.1; or in other words a new CD) The next change 
in the version numbers will only happen after 6 months when the next 
Ubuntu appears. (That is Ubuntu Ubuntu 9.04.0 if I continue with the 
8.10.0 example.)
