The same way they're being paid for their work on other
releases? ;-)

ouch!

Eh?  If the important part is the security fixes, why not just
install 4.11 and then apply the security fixes?


That's what we usually do whenever there's a security fix... I didn't see a new release pops up for after each security fix.


That's fine for awhile, but there will soon be enough
that this will be painful. And it may be a good idea to produce a release containing other code that's been backported from 5.x and 6.x.

Sounds interesting, but, while you were asking about SMP, AMD64 etc. that's not backporting, That's kernel handling AFAIK.
