Regardless, note that if you care about security issues then you always needed to either be using a distro provided QEMU or else be doing your own curating and applying of security related patches. The 'stable releases' have always been a convenience for people and distros interested in bug fixes of various kinds; they were never "quick point releases for security related fixes". -- PMM
