Now, cross your heart: Would /you/ run a LTS where there was /no/ QA or

Yes, I would, if I know that I can trust the packagers. I don't care
about QA and security team (though it is a nice bonus).
You cannot trust packagers without any QA being done. Period. Simple mistakes
happen to everyone, more frequently than we'd all like to admit. In a LTS type
scenario the people are expecting the updates that do come out to not completely
hose the system... 'trusting' the packagers would be a guaranteed way to have
people asking for their money back or ditching the distro entirely the first
time a major incident happened.
All it takes is a broken mkinitrd, and a kernel improperly installed rather than
upgraded. /byedatathecasualuserwillneverseeagain
