Do you REALLY want an LTS kernel? Sounds like you don't. You need to
update them just as much as any other kernel.
The point of an LTS kernel is it supposed to NOT receive feature
updates, just bug fixes. Given that Artificial Stupidity bots regularly
try to apply updates to stable kernels, is it worth restricting yourself
to old kernels? Especially when it's not unknown for a bot to try to
backport a patch from kernel X+2, when it depends on a patch from X+1
that hasn't been backported, and anybody using that code finds their
"stable" kernel blowing up in their face.
The idea behind stable kernels is great. The implementation leaves a lot
to be desired and, as always, the reason is not enough manpower.
Cheers,
Wol
