I feel it was a direct reply to the comment above.
At no point did it mention livepatching.
Dinosaurs don’t want to give up their extended LTS kernels because upgrading is a hassle and often requires rebooting, occasionally to a bad state.
No, Dinosaurs want LTS because it’s stable; it’s in the name.
You can’t have your proprietary shitware kernel module in any kernel other than the ABI it’s made for. You can’t run your proprietary legacy service heap of crap on newer kernels where the kernel APIs function slightly differently.
how can you bring your userbase forward so you don’t have to keep slapping security patches onto an ancient kernel?
