A comment on Greg Kroah-Hartman Stretches Support Periods for Key Linux LTS Kernels. Parent comment
No? A specific patch for a vulnerability is often tiny, and upstream LTS kernel devs handles much testing.
You test for issues, but the scope is tiny. The amount of churn to a new kernel is massive.
It's not even close to the same work. And why do it? Whatever for?
New isn't a good reason.
Frankly, as long as the userland and kernel are getting security updates, who cares? Understand, this is a lot of work alone.
