It's not that bad. Linux distro with point-release will always be become outdated over time because they don't upgrade there package to new major version. If you want always up-to-date software, use a rolling-release distro. In my opinion, the packages shipped with Ubuntu-server are pretty solid. No comment about the desktop version though, since I don't use it.
