I don't think that works very well with kernel/security-team stabilisation
policies, sadly.
Is there any possibility you would be able to do a stabilisation run, and
do a reboot cycle on one LTS branch (of choice, eg. most recent) and then
revert to your preferred kernel afterwards?
I appreciate this is a rather onerous process on older hardware, but just
trying to think of some form of semi-compromise that prevents potential
de-keywording, without also suggesting that something that genuinely has
issues is either (1) working or (2) supported, if so.
I believe Whissi is leading kernel stabilisation requests, on behalf of
security- and kernel- teams, so maybe a chat with him may be fruitful.
Cheers,
veremitz/Michael.
