That has nothing to do with LTS. It is the same with every Ubuntu 
version. Some time before the release date there is a decision which 
kernel (and other software) version will be supplied with the upcoming 
release. For Intrepid there was 2.6.27 available in time and therefore 
that version was used and not 2.6.26. For Ubuntu there is a release 
schedule of 6 months between releases. For the kernel there is no such 
schedule.
