I think the churn argument is overstated.

I'm often backporting patches to older kernels and I think the churn argument has not been emphasized enough. Backporting patches is a normal aspect of a product lifecycle since a kernel version is chosen when development of a product starts and bugfixes are cherry-picked from upstream selectively.

Thanks,

Bart.
