10.04 LTS is more important than 11.10, as it gives test coverage of a different window manager and the 0.9 openSSL libraries.
I'd say to drop 11.10 if anything, since it is very similar to 12.04 LTS.

If keeping only one configuration on a platform, keep the developer build since it has more test coverage than the production build.
