I noticed that 10.04 is up to chromium 15, which isn't too bad since they only stabilized 16 a few days ago. On the other hand I see the version of KDE is ancient. That seems in keeping with an LTS model though since it is the desktop environment. I imagine they're able to keep apps more current if they are more desktop-oriented or tend not to be dependencies. However, having not really used it I'd be curious as to where they find the balance.
