I'm not sure who "we" is in the above statement.  I preface my 
thoughts with the declaration that I am NOT a developer in any sense 
of the word...I'm "just a user."

But it seems to me that an endeavor the likes of which you describe 
would no longer be "Ubuntu Linux."  Someone had a vision and the 
resources to bring it about and thanks to that we now have Ubuntu. 
As has already been mentioned in threads in which people (including 
myself) have asked about "more timely" updates to supported 
applications, the Ubuntu team is a finite staff of developers.  If 
they have to branch off and start maintaining several variants of the 
distribution, I would have to guess that the project as a whole would 
suffer greatly.
