Gamers often complain how they become free QA testers if they buy a game in the first few months after release as most games are full of bugs (hi Bethesda!) but it is way worse in things like JavaScript libraries etc. It's as if finished have become a foreign word to most developers. Look at the resent story about Linux stable kernels that have had more than 255 minor releases and think how much of a shit show it would have been if they added features too like most developers do. The excellent small stable tools of Unix should have taught us something.

At least some distribution kernels do new feature backports - mostly to support new hardware on LTS versions (like e.g. Ubuntu did for the Raspberry Pi, see https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3464 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3464).
