You can always install a newer kernel - thankfully Linux is notorious for never breaking the userspace as a general rule.

  It is a reasonable thing to want to keep the kernel stable for custom kernel drivers. So stable kernel space is also important to me.

    The "custom kernel drivers" are the problem. Whatever they are, they should be upstreamed too. Trying to keep a stable ABI just causes problems.

      That might be an ok solution for consumer devices, but the kernel drivers I'm talking about are for custom setups that will only be used internally by me. There would never be any reason to upstream them. Constantly upgrading the kernel just creates a lot of work.
