@kernellogger Worse, it hurts not just people who really should have the budget to upgrade their hardware and are just lazy --- because they will just run old kernels and happily be vulnerable.
It also hurts those that are trying to not create e-waste when there is no reason to do so. One can argue that newer CPUs are more power efficient etc and thus upgrading is a net positive. I doubt that is true for most peripherals and things like NICs.
As I said, it sucks for everyone, I realize that.

@klausman I see your point, but still: testing new Linux mainline releases is not that hard. If your distro makes it hard then it's the distro that is the problem.
