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.
