The best solution for many end-users would probably be *not* to limit the 
changes to security fixes - if we have a fix for a mis-dissection, they'd 
probably want that, for example.

Given that, having separate "security fixes only" branches, for packagers and 
users who *only* want security fixes, and support branches, for packagers and 
users who also want those bug fixes that we deem "appropriate" for the support 
branches, is probably the right answer.
