Distributions and stable updates
+
+ -
+ Package maintainers want to get bug fixes without waiting for
+ the next release - particularly for security
+
+ -
+ Maintainers report bugs upstream, find and sometimes write
+ fixes, and stable updates are a way to share these fixes across
+ distributions
+
+ -
+ Are you doing this? If not, what's stopping you?
+
+
+
+ -
+ Distribution stable releases have a much longer support period
+ than kernel release cycle, but updating to every new Linus
+ release is too risky
+
+ -
+ So the longterm stable branches are very important for most
+ distributions with stable releases
