This isn’t always possible. And sometimes creates more problems than it solves or ends up not mitigating the issue completely.
In any case, backporting is a slower process. And back ports for non-stable are not done by the security team but volunteers.
- Fnoord 5y agoI was on about security and reliability fixes. These are applied when you run Stable, via Security repository, enabled by default. I was not on about Backports repository.
