Respins and backports for LTS versions

Seeing that the LTS versions of any Ubuntu based distribution are supported 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server, does the Trisquel team have plans to revisit the 4.0 LTS with a respin?
Of course anyone can install the vanilla 4.0 and sit through updates, but it would be nice to show some love with a respin that has more up to date packages from Ubuntu 10.04.3. Also, backporting the theme and icon improvements made in 4.5.1 and 5.0 would be great too.
On top of that, how up to date are the taranis-backports? Would be nice to have programs in 5.0 available for that too.
I am a translator!
I don't see no icon improvements in 4.5, 4.0 had a better trash icon. Also, isn't it the same anyway if you are using a netinstall iamge? It downloads all the new packages, so that you don't need to worry about updates.
I believe all the work achieved by Ubuntu's developers (including the backports) on Free softwares ends up in Trisquel. quidam also backports some of the work on the more recent Trisquel versions. For example, IceCat 5 (based on Firefox 5) is in the repository of Taranis: http://packages.trisquel.info/taranis-updates/icecat
Making updated ISOs of the LTS versions of Trisquel would be nice but would also require some additional work just to avoid lengthy updates for, probably, few users that switch to LTS versions of Trisquel long after they are released.
I run 10.04 on one of my servers and there are updates here and there for security fixes. When those types of updates happen in the 10.04 branch, does the software for the Trisquel repositories automatically pull it or does someone have to manually migrate?
