I have a life, and its a chore to reboot the 3 boxes after every
upgrade.  It runs my phones, my TV, my house security, and my mail and
webserver and booting them all is a PIA.  If it is raining security
holes with every kernel upgrade, that is a big problem, and that is
before all these appliances.

Advice?  Who am I to give advice?  On the face of it, I would say they
need to harden the kernel base release.  But I am not qualified to give
anyone advice.  If a kernel can't be reasonably secure in a 2 year
period, as a consumer I can only be unhappy about it and a bit dismayed.
 But no one owes me anything.
