Heaven forbid should anybody express an oppossing viewpoint! This is starting to feel like the boys at M$.

I'm afraid I don't share your viewpoint here, but you know it's less of an issue for me because it's well maintained and easy to apply, so it's not a big deal to apply for each new release.
The low-latency patch is more difficult, it won't apply as is for Sparc, so I have to hand remove portions for every new release which is a PITA.
But it's become abundantly clear that neither security nor latency are important issues to the vast majority here. Nor is stability on any platform other than Intel. I give up. Have a nice life.
