Isn't this what I was saying earlier?
I'm not 100% positive this would work perfectly although I believe Redhat
does basically this for RHEL. It is really just a few critical packages that
probably need back-ported. The ones that I feel would need back-porting would
be hplip, linux-libre, and abrowser. I'm not sure what else Rubén packages
so there could be other critical pieces I don't know about or am just not
thinking of.
It wouldn't satisfy all users although I think it is a good compromise for
the majority. Users would not have a problem getting hardware and at the same
time would have an up to date system (for critical components, abrowser,
security updates, etc).
This doesn't solve the problem well. What would solve the problem better is
this + a funding campaign.
