Because that's the default you get when you download from the Ubuntu 
site?

That's debatable, IMHO. While I prefer not to upgrade every 6 months, 
there is nothing wrong with 10.10 for others who always want to have the 
latest & greatest. LTS means just that - "Long Term Support", i.e. 
updates for a longer period of time than for the regular versions. When 
I started using Linux I did not yet care about that detail. I was 
exploring the system to find out if it was something I wanted to use at 
all.
