> 3. The appearance of a slow moving kernel is better than one that receives 1000's of commits every month. Customers see few changes as a good thing which means for them that the kernel is "stable"

If you still have a similar release cadence, for example due to security issues, there really isn't much gained by having a "stable" enterprise kernel. The only thing stable seems to be the major version.
