Nothing is wrong with our SRU policy IMHO. Shipping a new machine with hardy plus some extra Dell repo for new stuff is just fine for them, if that's how they see they can benefit their customers best. Arguably they should ask us to do official backports and use those, but since we don't throw a lot of QA at them, they don't lose much with doing them themselves. But it's a totally different thing to impose that new stuff as forced updates to _existing installations_, especially with LTS. We just can't jeopardize feature, UI, and even bug stability with stable releases.
