Debian to adopt time-based freezes, will Ubuntu LTS sync?

OK, now that Mark had his way (which I like) will Ubuntu LTS ship the same versions as Debian stable? Mark always argued for a common freeze, now he can have it. I would like to see that happen, it would make LTS special and more polished.
What I wouldn't like is for Ubuntu to take a more polished/better supported universe/multiverse and still add new Kernel, OO.o, Gnome etc.
(Somehow this sounded like Canonical bashing, but it is not my intention. I just want to see even more collaboration. Debian and the LTS will still be very different. Just not from a marketing perspective.)

Of course, it could be identical right down to the MD5 of the .iso and Debian fans would still claim that Ubuntu was a pile of junk, while Debian was a rare, polished jewel.
