If we say "security updates only" for the kernel, does that mean we won't support new processors and graphics cards? When Intel and AMD say they have a patch that enables new processors and peripherals, do we decline it? Why?
People will expect the distribution to just work with newer hardware.
Or maybe you're saying upgrade to debian 13 if/when you get new hardware but stay with 12 for fifty years on current hardware?
Intel and AMD should fire their marketing if a lot of people feel ok running the same hardware for fifty years, no?
