the reason they don't go to 3.9 (this is my assumption) is that FGLRX doesn't support it yet, and possibly not Nvidia's drivers, and very possibly other proprietary drivers. They want Ubuntu to be usable by as wide an audience as possible, and going to 3.9 when many drivers don't support it is a big step backwards in that area. remember: Ubuntu isn't just about you, but EVERYBODY who uses it and works on it.
