The same response applies. These administrators are taking responsibility
for their users by making them out of our reach.
I'm not sure I follow. It sounds like you're saying we should avoid
helping anyone that doesn't stick to our upgrade schedule,...
I am not saying "should avoid". I am saying it is not much use.
All we can do is to inform, educate and help those who are taking
responsibility, be it LTS distro or these administrators, to help their
users. I've already outlined what LTS distros could do with backporting
and reverting in the previous message.
We can make sure that the "default flip" and "stop warn" patches can be
easily cherry-picked by them, even though we cannot force them to do so.
