I meant from a software architecture / maintenance standpoint. I assume its that much more work to backport vs just pushing the next change, I also assume this type of issue is only going to happen more thus more backporting / hotpatches ect.

Many users will never accept rolling releases so it doesn't matter if that's easier for the distro developers.
