In the real world, spender will get hired as the kernel security expert; he will bravely go over every kernel fix and find the vulnerability lying within, reveal it with great fanfare and excruciating detail, and use the assigned CVE to properly label the upgrade. Inane DoS attacks will be largely a thing of the past. After all this work every kernel version will carry with it some 2870 "OH NOES PLEASE UPGRADE" warning labels, and with it a heightened sense of warm protection for every user. Not to speak about stable releases -- these will come with a few dozen "OH NOES PLEASE PLEASE UPGRADE" warnings. In a few iterations security will improve so much that Linux will be suitable for end users and the Year of the Linux Desktop will finally arrive.
