Your right, it would be nice if debian actually did that.
The absolute state of updates

Perhaps not, but most commercial distributions will likely do that.

They do, nigger. As we speak I'm dealing with having to fix up their backported kernel patches to merge in a different base kernel version for a patch set my company needs that was easier to take if doing it this way than attempting to forward port the patch set. There are 512 backported patches.
The only two distros with enough engineering manpower to do large scale backporting are RedHat and Debian. Everyone else either rides their dicks or finds a way around it (see: the "rolling" meme).

So... self-inflicted problem thread?

Yeah I fucking hate it. I fucking hate everything about modern OS and hardware, and the web, and the software. It all fucking sucks. I miss the Amiga and 8-bit computers, before all this stupid shit started. Even fucking DOS was less shitty.

just use any stable branch
tell me a single feature that you absolutely fucking needed to upgrade for in the last 6 months

If you are a /biz/ person you know that SCRUM and Agile is the only way to be competitive (if you are not a large/botnet corporations with lots of resources).
See but still most independent distros with big goals like pottering-free or non-copies (that excludes Mint and Elementary for Ubuntu, AntegrOS and Manjaro for Arch) has a hard time back-porting due to resource constraints.

In the business I work at our best devs just shit all over the Scrum and Agile bullshit, the business runs perfectly fine. Asshat.
