Stable kernel updates

Constructive criticism is fine: I'm sure that the kernel maintainers know that there are issues and welcome useful feedback. However, responding to all articles about kernel releases with derogatory comments like "Lame!" and "Ludicrous!" doesn't help matters, because there's nothing actionable about those; they seem like ad hominem statements. What exactly is ludicrous? Have those issues been reported upstream?

For me, I had some issues with the 4.13 series on a couple of my test computers, but that's why I keep several older copies of the kernel around. If you're using the most recent builds, you're going to encounter some issues because there are going to be less people who have tested them. If you want kernels that have had more exposure, don't use 4.14 yet; let people who are more willing to accept risk test them first.
