Is any distribution shipping 2.6.25.11?

When a new stable kernel is released, do they push out binaries for that new kernel, for all
.x.y releases?

You know the answer to this, so I think it's you who is living in a "rosy universe" and
pretends that Linux users are using the vanilla "stable" kernel and upgrading to each new one
for the week.

And yes, people do need those words.  They're the same words everyone else uses and expects to
be used.  Do you think Microsoft could get away with the ridiculous idea that security bugs
are just bugs?

I guess in your "rosy universe" if on Patch Tuesday, a list of 10 patches was presented to a
user with descriptions like "fixed bug" they'd terminate any critical processes running and
upgrade their hundreds of machines immediately.
