You must not have many PPA's enabled. And you must not use PostgreSQL, which won't painlessly upgrade on anything.....

I've had the opposite experience with several clients, using Ubuntu as a desktop, not a server. I've had a few issues with servers, too.
Timely updating takes effort; either I pay with money for upstream's binaries or I pay with time for either upstream's source RPMs (which can be delayed) or a rebuild's binaries. Or I pay with transition cost to a different distribution. Those are the choices. TANSTAAFL.
