The upstream can't do anything directly if the downstream simply refuses to update (if there are fixes to real threats) and/or reboot (if it's the kernel).
So any system where you need to, or want to install it and forget about it for a long period of time, the Linux kernel can not be considered a choice for that usage because it needs contact oversite and upgrades.
No kernel can be considered for such a choice, this is not unique to Linux or any other operating system, sorry. good luck!
