Greg says distros are doing it wrong

[oldgranola]

Apparently , Greg Kroah-Hartman, Mr. Upstream sans Linus, thinks the distro's are doing it wrong with regard to security patches. Too slow to apply the security fixes to LTS kernels. I certainly wouldn't have any idea how to fix but does give me a bit more of an excuse to play with upstream kernels, but I'm doing it just for fun on non critical machines and multiboots.

Linux can't keep you safe if you don't update it

Of course GKH doesn't mention all the kernel disasters he's been directly responsible for.

...couple notes...

...1) the CIO article in the first post is from...May 13 2016

...2) GKH's choice of distro some yrs ago...(hardly what someone calls 'LTS' i think?)
