"which is a metapackage that always depends on the latest 4.14 kernel, so you'll get security updates to 4.14 but won't get upgraded to a newer kernel for as long as 4.14 is supported."

More like "won't get upgraded to a newer kernel ever, even when 4.14 is no longer supported." Once 4.14 is no longer supported the updates to the linux-libre-4.14 metapackage just stop; i.e., it doesn't get updated to pull in a newer one. Thus, the onus is on the people using it to decide when/if to move off of 4.14.
