it seems you're confused. unlike binary Windows updates, the patches are not useful for end users but rather distro builders, sysadmins and other people maintaining their own kernel (for the better or worse, let's not digress into the costs/benefits of not being on latest -stable). they had better be competent at what they're doing.
