Trivial fixes might not be trivial

In a former life I maintained a something based on a way out of security support version of RHEL. Even the most trivia kernell fix required dev testing on all supported hardware, which was several days work.

QA also had to do some more testing, so kernel upgrades where not something done lightly. A CVE and sufficient CVSS was required to overcome the resistance to changing anything.

I might have declared anything which broke on current arable versions to be bugware which te to be fixed, but was not in a position to do that.
