"Unknown" risk exposure can become known after the release and we'd have to 
respin all our images for every single security fix to address that. This is 
just not practical.

13 months if you go by that metric, but the 6 months I mentioned are the 
time between 2 releases, i.e. the time that can pass in the worst case until 
we release fixed images.
