Hey the kind of issues you are talking about is real but not cheap. you
have to hire programmers who will keep track of trivial changes and will
incorporate those trivial changes and security changes. Unfortunately
there are certain type of bugs exists (may be a security threat) which
need quite a good amount of change.
There could be another option. That is hire some expart who will plan and
design migration plan to new kernel. Then I will suggest you upgrade your
system every six months otherwise take risk of becoming obsolete. Come'on
it is free as in beer, why the developer will take the pain when you are
not ready to consider it.
Even proprietary systems are not painless. Check MS XP-SP2? How many ways
it is disruptive. Life is like that!
